Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have this solution implemented for a particular department that is open to having their data cloud-enabled. The department does not have a unique source to fund Capex expenditures so the IBM Cloud was a much friendlier solution. The underlying cloud management saves them on operation costs and allows them to use their funding in a flexible fashion.

Pros and Cons

IBM support is great
Cloud solves our cost issues
Flexible options

Still could add some more features
IBM cloud can change maybe too rapidly
Application extensions

Return on Investment

Capex is reduced
IBM support is good
We are now cloud enabled

Alternatives Considered

We wanted the reliability of IBM and they deliver. The other vendors do not have a long history of customer service. It made it an easy sell with our executives to trust that a cloud operation delivered by IBM would be successful and worthy of their reputations. They did not trust many of the latest startups.

Likelihood to Recommend

When you want to expand your IT function to cloud functionality, IBM Cloud provides the tools needed with their partnership with Veeam to make it happen. If your data needs to stay on-premise for security purposes, obviously a cloud solution will receive a lot of scrutiny as an alternative. If you can overcome those hurdles, Veeam on IBM Cloud is a good choice.
