PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT

Introducing Save On Clouds by Tidal

The best part of our year so far: introducing our newly-minted Intelligent Cloud Cost Optimization Platform, Saver!

If overall cost is the only thing stopping you from launching your business into the cloud this year, we’re here to take the headache out of the planning, whether you’re going with AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.

Save On Clouds is provided free of charge to subscribers of the Pilot, Accelerator, or Enterprise plans of Tidal, and for non-subscribers, we’re also providing a limited version supporting up to 10 servers.

Manage your resources wisely and stop the waste - choose the right times to activate and shut down your operations!
