The Hidden Complexity of Hyperscalers
This whitepaper compares the drawbacks of hyperscale platforms to purpose-built options like CaaB, which provide predictable pricing and direct partner support. Download the whitepaper for strategic insights, and contact Jertex Networks, LLC. for guidance on migrating to a smarter solution.
What are the main challenges of using hyperscalers?
Mid-sized businesses often encounter several challenges with hyperscalers, including opaque pricing structures that complicate budgeting due to usage-based billing and egress fees. Additionally, support is typically limited to self-help documentation and tiered service level agreements (SLAs), which may not meet their needs. The tools provided are often over-engineered for global scale, making them difficult for smaller teams to manage effectively.
How does pricing transparency differ between hyperscalers and tailored solutions?
Hyperscalers generally have medium pricing transparency, which can lead to unexpected costs due to complex calculators and additional fees. In contrast, tailored solutions often provide more predictable pricing, allowing businesses to budget more effectively without the risk of hidden costs.
What alternatives are available for mid-market businesses?
Mid-market organizations can consider purpose-built platforms like Cloud as a Business (CaaB), which offer a more aligned approach. These alternatives typically provide direct access to expert support, built-in resilience features, and a simpler user experience, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in and internal complexity.
