Are you migrating to Azure or another public Cloud? A client of ours did, and they didn’t use Galileo Cloud Compass. Do you know what happened?

Add multiple responders to one or more incidents. Helps in gaining empathy, transparency, and future context for an incident that helps reduce MTTR.

Put simply, cloud adjacent storage is just a privately owned and operated storage system, within network reach of a cloud provider’s region, but without the pay-as-you-grow and access charges found in public clouds.
