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