Multi-Cloud Storage

Four approaches eliminate egress costs and data copies for multi-cloud workloads.

Egress fees make switching cloud vendors prohibitively expensive for most organizations.

Most vendors claim S3-compatibility but implement wildly different feature sets.

Portable storage has become essential as most enterprises now run workloads across multiple clouds.

Pick the right storage type for your workload, or watch performance and costs both suffer.

Gateway endpoints eliminate NAT routing costs and latency ceilings for same-region S3 access.

AI workloads demand different storage at each stage, making hybrid architecture a deliberate choice.

Ransomware and AI compliance demands are making air-gapped backups essential infrastructure.

Object storage scales across regions where SAN and NAS hit hard limits.

Mounting object storage as a filesystem bridges incompatible models with real performance tradeoffs.

Four self-hosted alternatives and two managed options fill the gap MinIO's archival left behind.

Cloud-native file services lock you into a single provider, making multi-cloud training costly.
