Organizations should be aware of the five “hidden” charges that companies must consider when researching the best and most cost-effective cloud backup solution for their business.
Network Egress Fees
Hidden Cost No. 3: Network Egress Fees
All clouds allow you to insert your data for free (network ingress). However, many clouds charge network fees to move your data out of the cloud to another location or to the Internet (network egress). These network egress fees vary greatly by cloud provider and depend on the amount of data moved in a month as well as the geography where the data resides, though they tend to range between 5 and 23 cents per GB.
