Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers across the organization, Foreseer, as a turnkey human-in-the-loop solution to extract information from documents, emails, and feeds. Our AI-powered system combined with human review = Best of breed information extraction. An open platform that your data scientists and business users can leverage to unlock value without worrying about technology heavy-lifting necessary to deliver a scalable, robust, enterprise-grade solution. We need a lot of infrastructure for training and deploying our models and UI.
  • Straightforward
  • Cheaper than AWS
  • Could use a slightly friendlier interface
  • Marketplace
  • Less cost--savings on infrastructure
Less cost for infrastructure means more savings.
  • IBM Cloud Functions
  • IBM Cloud Container Registry
IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are well suited for easily creating servers, templatizing them. I like the fact that cost estimates are provided right away. Good HA and replications, but it's not suitable for creating images out of the box.
