Maximize Your Cloud Storage ROI, Minimize Excess Fees

As cloud computing continues to integrate with traditional IT operations, a closer look at the true cost of digital transformation has uncovered some unfortunate truths – some cloud services are more expensive than they were expected to be. This is especially true for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and cloud storage in particular. The majority of IaaS providers, the global hyper scalers, include a plethora of miscellaneous fees that results in double or triple the list price. As datasets grow 20-40% year over year and utilization bounces from quiescent to very active, the result is an unpredictable billing that breaks budgets and forces decisions between meeting retention compliance requirements and long term retention of data assets that could prove valuable in an AI-driven future. We will explore the fee problem, typical for the hyper scalers offerings, and shape a framework for evaluating alternative offerings. Ultimately, we’ll define an ideal cloud storage offering that provides a predictable cost to support the goals of innovation and discovery for enterprises need to drive to gain a competitive advantage in their respective industry.
