Outscale Introduces Per-Second Billing to Boost Cloud Adoption

Outscale, an IaaS Enterprise Class Cloud service provider and a strategic Partner of Dassault Systemes, introduces per-second billing. This announcement is a true breakthrough in the world of cloud computing. By paying only for the resources they use, companies and organizations can save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, which frees up financial resources to invest in strategic projects and foster their growth. With this announcement, Outscale aims to provide more transparency to its customers and boost the transition to Cloud adoption.

“Thanks to billing per second, Outscale, leading provider of Enterprise-Class cloud service, is the first worldwide provider to offer pricing tailored to the Cloud usage of companies. We are convinced that this paradigm shift will make adopting the Cloud more convenient,” says Outscale’s President, Laurent Seror. He adds, “Unlike other main providers on the market, that are mostly comprised of e-business platforms, search engines or software editors, we are a pure player in the field. Because Cloud computing is our core business, we keep innovating to provide our customers with more transparency, proximity and agility.”

Currently, most Cloud services charge their customers by hour. As a result, companies’ yearly expenses are weighed down by thousands of unused yet charged hours. Outscale’s goal is to put an end to this waste and lack of transparency.

In the case of a virtual machine running for 11 minutes and 42 seconds, Outscale charges their customers 702 seconds, while Amazon Web Services charges a full hour. That’s 48 unused minutes and 18 unused seconds paid. Multiply this by the number of collaborators in an organization, and by the number of daily connections, you could end up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars more than you use every year.

As an example, one of Outscale’s clients, a web agency with a turnover of 9 million euros in 2015 and 80 collaborators, could dramatically lower its Cloud costs thanks to the per-second billing option. Outscale believes that transparency is the key, and customers should only pay for the resources they truly used.

This offer is available today in Europe, the Unites States and Asia.
