Everyone wanted to be on Softlayer for a time. It was THE hosting provider. I don’t know if they where any good, but the got great press coverage.
Two years ago I had to help a customer debug some weird nginx behaviour, resulting in their traffic spiking at ten times the expected rate. The IBM/Softlayer VPN required that I used Internet Explorer, but it still failed to work. We spend three month with IBM and IBM Cloud consultants to make it NOT work.
IBM destroy everything it buys. They have POWER, their mainframes and associated software left. How that keeps them afloat is a mystery.
