Avoid Storm Clouds
You won’t find any fair-weather pricing here!
Many clouds charge every time you retrieve your asset and egress is the most commonly known cloud charge. However, most clouds have a plethora of hidden transactions. Any mention of put, copy, post, list, get, read, select and purge charges is a sign that a confusing and variable monthly bill will be in your inbox soon.
Disabilities are not all alike! Altitude Archive uses powerful tri-region erasure coding, so you can access your content even in the event of region destruction. Check other providers’ definition of durability in the small print. Look for telltale signs – an asterisk or special character † after the durability statement or number.
It may sound cheaper but is it? Most cloud providers show you pricing for storing an asset once. To achieve compatible durability and storage terms with Altitude, you may need to store multiple copies driving other clouds costs higher and adding complexity.
