Transferring 500 TB of data between cloud environments is a time consuming and expensive process. You can expect a transit time of 6.6 days, which comes with a heavy financial burden of $45,000 in egress charges and an additional $22,345 lost to idle compute burn. Filecoin provides a refreshing alternative that completely changes how this works. Instead of moving your information, the dataset stays firmly in place while GPU providers rotate around it. This highly efficient method means Filecoin charges zero egress, leaving you with absolutely no egress fees to pay.
