By assigning cloud costs based on company-defined categories, Teevity aims to automate spending governance without restricting access to resources.
The past year in cloud economics has been unprecedented. Price cuts (and increases) still take place but are introduced with far less fanfare than before. New models and economically beneficial features are where providers are hoping to gain credibility and wallet share. But this battleground is temporary.
The company says its efficient algorithms enable it to store S3-compatible volumes at a fraction of the cost of AWS and with better performance. A single storage tier – 'hot storage' – and free data access and egress simplify budgeting for enterprises, and low prices mean bigger margins for resellers and MSPs. Wasabi's challenge is to make a name for itself as a fast, cost-efficient, secure and reliable storage provider – a tall order.
The company rolled out a slew of 'new and improved' cloud services for spring, including VMware Cloud on AWS enhancements and availability in Europe, a more capable Hybrid Cloud Extension for any-to-any vSphere migration, and additional partner incentives and support.
With the latest release of vRealize, the vendor is continuing on the path of making IT operations easier and more automated, expanding and modernizing the developer toolkit, and simplifying lifecycle management via a curated in-product marketplace.
The company is investing heavily in hybrid IT, with HPE OneSphere playing a key role. With access to capability from its Cloud Cruiser and Cloud Technology Partners acquisitions, plus IP and partners from its Cloud28+ engine, OneSphere has potential.
