If that’s the way IBM wants it, then fine. But IBM has signalled that it is rebuilding its IaaS offering and
Gartner believes that effort has resulted in only “incremental improvements to the infrastructure
services formerly under the SoftLayer umbrella” and has “not delivered on its fundamental goal — to
produce a new set of cloud IaaS offerings based on the principles of hyperscale architecture.”
“Given this, it is unlikely that IBM will become a competitive public cloud IaaS provider.”
The firm also cautions that “Despite having many worldwide data centres, the IBM Cloud experience
remains disjointed, as many features are available only in specific locations. This and an unexceptional
user experience cause IBM to have a higher level of user dissatisfaction than other vendors in this
research.”
Ouch.
Talk about an indictment. . .
