Cloud Provider Egress Fees Are 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 throughput, resolving errors and eliminating downtime during migration.
