“As high as 95% of business and IT leaders say that cloud billing is the most confusing part of public cloud adoption.” – survey taken at the Gartner Symposium<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Data egress fees are one of the cloud’s biggest hidden costs, hurting enterprises and small businesses alike to the tune of thousands of dollars per year. <\/p>\n

So what is data egress? Put simply, data moves in and out of the cloud; most cloud providers allow you to input your data for free (ingress), but will charge large network fees to move your data out of the cloud elsewhere (egress). <\/p>\n

The process of removing data from the cloud often involves a large data transfer. Usually cloud providers charge between 5 and 20 cents per GB every time you move your data from their cloud storage to your on-premises location. While this won’t hurt the casual cloud user, large businesses pushing and pulling terabytes of data to and from places like AWS get handed a pretty stiff bill. <\/p>\n

Let’s dive in and compare domestic data egress per month among some cloud providers:<\/p>\n

You may be asking “It’s not that different. What’s a few cents among friends?” <\/p>\n

Say you would like to transfer about 25 TB of data to your location, a partner, client, consultant, etc. You’re now staring at about $2500 PER TRANSFER in fees that you may or may not have known about. And that’s just domestic, if you move this data overseas, the cost will be much higher.<\/p>\n
