Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We have been with IBM Cloud for more than 5 years and, initially with 1 server and then we added a few servers for testing applications. We have settled with 2 now. This server is used by many of our clients across the country and beyond. The IBM Cloud Virtual Server addresses our IT Infrastructure requirements and its elastic nature fits best for our business.
  • Excellent Support
  • Very good performance
  • Very easy to use
  • Voice Support should be provided to premium customers
  • Return on investment was instantaneous for us.
This helps us a lot while we are testing some of our core products that need high computational speed. We could quickly configure a server of our choice and run testing, and we can switch off. This helps us to save money on using a high-performance server with parallel computing.
We haven't used this service, and we expect this in the future as our business is growing exponentially.
We haven't used the dedicated virtual servers, but using a couple of VPS now. However, during the second half of this year we planned for 2 Dedicated Virtual servers in place.
We have tried Amazon AWS, which we used for a year, and then switched to IBM. We have also tried local e2e networks.
  • IBM Cloud Object Storage
We are using IBM s3, which is object storage of the IBM server. This helps us to store large volume of stacked data.
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers make it easy to configure and create a new virtual server. Its controls are very good and easy to use. IBM after-sales support is excellent. The performance of the server is on par with AWS. Resizing of the server is very easy and quick, which does not affect our running business, and downtime is minimal.
