Enterprise Cloud Storage,
Without the Hyperscaler Tax
Up to 40% less than AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud storage. No egress fees. No API charges. Same performance. Same durability. Same compliance certifications.
Based on published list pricing for AWS S3 Standard, Azure Blob Hot Tier, and Google Cloud Storage Standard. Actual savings vary based on workload, region, and usage patterns.
Your Storage Bill Is Bigger Than It Should Be
Cloud storage was supposed to be cheap. Then came egress fees, API request charges, retrieval fees, and class transition costs.
Now your storage line item is one of the largest unmanaged costs in your cloud bill — and the more data you store, the worse it gets.
Most mid-market companies are paying 2–3× what they need to for storage. Not because they made the wrong decision, but because the hyperscalers changed the game after they signed up.
