Questions people actually ask
- What does this cost me?
- Nothing. I am paid by the provider when an introduction becomes a customer. You should know that before we talk.
- Who is the provider?
- Redundant Web Services. Their published claim is enterprise-grade infrastructure at 20–50% less than AWS, Azure and GCP, with transparent pricing and no egress surprises. That is their figure, not mine — I will help you check it against your own bill.
- What if it is not a fit?
- Then I tell you. An introduction I had to talk you into is worth less to me than one you were glad to take.
- What kind of workloads?
- Bare metal and VMs, Windows and Linux, AI and machine-learning workloads, analytics and data lakes, archiving. If your spend is mostly managed services rather than compute, the maths is usually worse — I will say so early.
- Is this a green-energy pitch?
- No. The provider publishes a sustainability and energy strategy for their data centres, and you can read it. But the reason to have this conversation is cost, and I am not going to dress it up as something else.
