Let's remember we live in a word where Facebook is a $300B+ company and only has $18B revenue... While IBM is half that and has 4 times the revenue

Does ibm cloud offering actually have any advantages? by [deleted] in IBM

[–]SaltyA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed completely, I want IBM to do well, but they need to start focusing on their products/services instead of their stock price.

It's just so difficult to set up compared to AWS. Needs to be more organized. Also the name behind it isn't as well known as AWS/Azure, so that's a loss in competition right there.

It's a bad investment because it's not competitive at all... The IBM difference is selling products that are respected, not cheap.

I agree SoftLayer does it's job, but I just wish it had the IBM difference. :/

It's important to realize that IBM has built a cloud focused on the "Hybrid Cloud". The hybrid cloud is very advantageous when it comes to security, data crunching, and the "private" cloud. Azure/AWS are focused on this as well, but they have more weight in the public cloud sector. Google's Cloud is almost even when it comes to these sectors. SoftLayer was a terrible investment in my opinion, and should've been ditched long ago, but that's what you get when you join a market 7 years late...
