• Wasabi hosts “Avoid Costly Errors in the Cloud with the Next Generation of Compute & Storage.” Any cost outside your initial cloud bill estimates, complicated to calculate, and hard to predict falls under the category of an unexpected cost. As frustration with cloud costs grow, organisations are actively moving to multi-cloud architectures built on next generation cloud service providers who do not charge for data operations, transfer, and egress. Rather than being locked into one hyperscaler’s vertical cloud, organisations want to pick and choose their storage vendor, their compute vendor, their content delivery network partners, and so forth. Learn how cloud storage from Wasabi Technologies and compute services from Sushi Cloud are the perfect place to start implementing a multi-cloud strategy with no “hidden charges.”
