They IBM Cloud / SoftLayer use / resell Verizon Digital Media, formerly<br />
Edgecast, which is basic by design.<br />
In that unless you actually pay for the extra features they don't<br />
provision them.<br />
The federal government have a policy now a days of going for the<br />
cheapest quote, so if you quote a job for $2000 and a competitor quotes<br />
$800 the cheaper quote will win.<br />
This works well for some items, but not when planning web based IT<br />
infrastructure that needs to scale.<br />
