UK-based infrastructure services UKCloud says it is "fighting" against industry giants by dramatically reducing the online storage price.
Customers looking for cheap online storage with data volumes above 1000 TB will pay 1.46 pence per GB per month, 66 percent, and most importantly, no additional charge for bed, writing, bandwidth and Support.
Bettors who choose to 500 TB will cough 1.81 pence per GB per nine-pence month, although additional fees may be charged at this level.
Simon Hansford, CEO of UKCloud, a leading provider of government services to the G-Cloud, told us that an updated hiperconvertida of its storage platform has saved costs.
"The UKCloud storage cloud cheaper is cheaper than cloud storage [for general use] cheaper AWS and Azure," he said.
The cheapest for a comparable AWS storage service is 1.81 per GB per month, and Microsoft is 1.83 pence. Both companies also have appropriate replacement storage services for deep archive documents
Hansford said the local cloud vendors might be "too paranoid" about AWS and Microsoft, but El Reg question using the word paranoid.
No doubt some are looking on their shoulders, but rightly so; AWS marketing machine has done a good job of talking about price cuts - over 50 since its release. On the other hand, this was the tenth UKCloud price reduction since its release.
Hansford says AWS offers "big share prices," but said that "customers almost need a degree in AWS price because there are so many warnings and a few."
The decline in prices comes after the rise of Microsoft cloud their prices by an average of 22 percent since the beginning of this month, with the movement of the pound sterling against the blamed US dollar.
