IBM Public Cloud Scalability
It is scalable. I don't have a million users, however, I know it's scalable. I use a small percentage of the CPU. It's not that I need to pay a lot for the service. I am using just a micro percentage.
You can scale it based on the workload. You can implement auto-scaling to scale it up and down. By default, it's there. We tried with our workload. We started with 10 students, and then we dynamically loaded up to 2,200 students. We didn't see any performance issues, and the system was automatically able to handle 2,200 students.
The beauty of cloud service providers, especially public cloud service providers, is that they are scalable every time when you need them because their payment model is pay-as-you-go. So most of the public cloud service providers are following this model.
Recently, we also scaled FortiGate from two CPUs to four.

I am not using the scalable option and I have not tried it. My AWS service is scalable because I use it for specific things and sometimes the traffic is high. If the traffic is high, they automatically scale the database size and then I pay some extra money for that. But I am not using AWS all the time because everything does not need to be scalable.
From an internal standpoint the IBM solution is scalable. We have 15 users internally and we can scale that usage at any time.

IBM Public Cloud is a scalable solution, and it's straightforward, especially because we mostly use only serverless solutions.
View full review »It is a scalable solution. Because it is a cloud and up to the requirements, it can scale up and down. We have more than 18 customers. We have multiple customers because we are also in the IT industry, and our customers use different solutions in the same cloud.

This solution is very scalable. IBM took over a company called SoftLayer, which has resources across the globe. They are available in the UK, US, Australia, India, Asia, and everywhere.

For the maintenance of IBM Cloud, we currently employ no one because we are still at the deployment stage. We have some servers for our products. When we deploy our products, we haven't started to integrate between the cloud and our servers. We just deployed the code on our servers.
Currently, while deploying or running the tool in the cloud, the scan takes almost no time to complete. Other things we use are just reading the reports that are being generated from the tool.
I don't think we are planning to increase our usage of IBM Cloud currently.

The solution is very scalable. It's one of the best on the market. We have ten to 100 people using the solution, and about 25 of them are certified, which is quite a lot. We plan on increasing usage in the future.
