Presentation

Trading the Cloud as a Commodity on UCX

Billions of dollars annually are wasted on the largest, fastest growing, and most inefficient market today, the buying/selling of compute resources. Enterprises lack the necessary tools to understand their true cost of consumption and have no way to benchmark against the open market and accurately compare CSPs. They are trapped in an antiquated “allocation-based” cost model.

UCX is the exchange where enterprises can make apple-to-apples comparisons, manage their risk, and regain operational agility. Enterprises can now measure, benchmark, trade, and consume compute resources from a centralized, transparent, and competitive market.
