Likelihood to Recommend	If you are shopping for a virtual business storage software, Google Cloud Persistent Disk offers the best features more so when it comes to ease of data access, data security, fast data transfers, and scalability. It is ideal for all businesses regardless of the industry. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The service in general is great because on the backend. IBM offers experience and knowledge in the use of data center technologies undeniably. I recommend it for almost any situation but particularly for databases and especially large ones. That possibility of adjusting IOPS dynamically to levels that other data centers do not offer makes it unique. I don't recommend using the service if you don't have an infrastructure expert who knows about servers, Linux, and storage because a lot of the configuration and settings require an expert hand.
