Cloud Provider Egress Fees
Are a Major Obstacle to Cloud Migration
The flexibility to choose
the right cloud provider for a given application is critical for enterprises
wanting to place the workloads in the right infrastructure for the task. Moving
the data necessary to support those applications is challenging, because high
egress fees and low data transfer rates complicate migrating large amounts of
data from one cloud service provider to another.
Flexify.IO allows its users
to manage their data across multiple clouds, presenting the data to
applications as a single S3-compatible virtual bucket, independent of the
underlying cloud provider's APIs. The service simplifies the migration process,
ensuring maximum throughput, resolving errors and eliminating downtime during
migration.
