Likelihood to Recommend

I would choose IBM Cloud because of the support and price performance. IBM Cloud Virtual Servers allows your architecture to grow as your business/traffic grows. It has a very redundant network with customization via VLAN and allows for customization of server specs and architecture design. You can deploy the virtual servers within minutes, so when time is an important factor I would definitely choose IBM Cloud.
