PAUL, LIGHT TO MEDIUM USE

Paul runs a startup content aggregation platform, whose users consume an average of 2TB of data transfer each month.

Paul is currently using a 64 vCPU single AWS c6gd.metal EC2 on-demand instance with an additional 2TB of Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS), utilised by a PostgreSQL database.

His monthly costs are $1998.85 for the instance, plus $184.32 for outbound data transfer via the Internet, a total of $2,183.17.

Paul’s platform experienced exciting organic growth and a corresponding spike in traffic, and his users’ average consumption increased from 2TB to 10TB of data each month.

His monthly costs rose $921 to $2920.45 per month.

The Sushi cloud EPYC 32 Core plan, featuring a 32-core bare metal server, would cost Paul a flat $712 per month, a saving of $2208.45/76%. Billing monthly or quarterly, those savings deepen even further, giving great financial stability with no risk of nasty billing surprises.

CLAIRE, ENTERPRISE USE

Claire runs a startup machine learning company who has just raised a $2M Series A. Over 24 months, their primary budgeting line items comprise $1M for R&D and training, and $250k for compute.

Of AWS’s offerings, the 128 vCPU m6i.metal instance was selected as best matching their needs. This instance has an on-demand cost of $4894.72 per month.

Claire’s engineers regularly need to change data sets, a process requiring large and unpredictable amounts of external data egress. However, because excess data egress charges can total several thousands of unbudgeted dollars per month, CFO approval is required before engineers can do their jobs each time. Productivity will be impacted as a result.

The Sushi cloud EPYC 64 Core plan, featuring a 64-core bare metal server, would cost Claire a flat $928.80 per month, a saving of $3965.92. With a quarterly or yearly commitment, that cost drops even further. And, with no hidden charges, CFO approval would no longer be needed, so it’ll be full steam ahead for everyone.
