If you need to quickly set up a short-term cloud computing instance, IBM is probably not the option for you. Whereas other cloud suppliers can set up instances in seconds or minutes, configuring a Bluemix bare metal server might take up to four hours. While the versatility and customization options make the time lag acceptable in some scenarios, it is definitely not the ideal solution for a team building up a short dev or test environment that will only be used for a few hours or days. IBM i cloud is also definitely not the greatest option for firms who are extremely cost-conscious. While its storage costs are incredibly competitive, its computation costs are not.
The platform has a high availability.
The IBM Cloud console is globally accessible and load balanced through a single URL. It is extremely available and keeps running even if your resources are unavailable. Catalogs, global search and tagging, authentication and access control, and account management are also available internationally and load balanced across many locations. A failover plan is in place to keep your resources operational without your intervention. Each platform service is classified as a general availability service with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of up to 98 percent dependability. While each platform service may be offered from several areas, each region where the service is implemented includes numerous data centers for redundancy.
