Reaching for the Wallet to Take Out the Data: How Data Egress Fees Impact the Cloud Buyer


This IDC Market Perspective provides insight into the amount of cloud budget committed to data egress fees and how this differs by vendor. It also asks what the market needs to consider when issuing egress fees."Difficult to forecast data egress fees are likely to come under the spotlight as organizations look to do more with their data — especially with the introduction of generative AI. Vendors across the cloud market should carefully consider the impact of data egress fees on cloud deployments as increasingly their customer base — and regulators — will be asking their own questions around how detrimental fees can be to hybrid cloud and multicloud deployments," says Penny Madsen, senior research director, Cloud and Edge Services, IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
