Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Virtual Servers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to host our entire SaaS platform that hundreds of healthcare organizations utilize across the globe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Quick spinup
Great choice
Good value

Cons

The ability to select the amount of memory by amount of GB's

Return on Investment

Positive effect on our ROI. This backend is much more cost effective then our previous hosting solution

Bare Metal Servers are amazing in performance but they're slow to spin up and slow to reconfigure for additional resources. Virtual Machines allows us to be more flexible and more dynamic in our current workloads.

We used to host our virtual machines at a competitor but IBM's product range is much more cost effective which increased our ROI. Also having a partner with IBM opens up doors that would've previously been shut.

Other Software Used

IBM Cloud Bare Metal Servers, IBM Log Analysis with LogDNA, Redis

Likelihood to Recommend

They're perfect as an IaaS solution hosting whatever kind of solution you have. Reliability has been great.
