Being a traditional hosting company, Phoenix NAP has always been working to offer the latest and greatest in cloud services and the hosting space.
Their fully S3-compatible storage solution offer, combined with their bare-metal and on-premise cloud solutions, are a fine choice for anyone not willing to give in to the “giants”, like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
PhoenixNAP has valuable partnerships with large tech companies, such as Cisco, Intel, and VMware.
Digital Ocean is one of the few companies that grew over time and actually made it to the champions leage of Cloud Hosting Providers. It’s only logical DO should offer an object storage solution.
Digital Ocean has established itself over the years as being developer friendly, posting an abundance of useful Sysadmin/developer articles. The value and quality of their blog closely represents their product, which is clean, has good concise documentation, and works great.
Their clients include InfluxDB and Edge Compute company Section; (see our srvrlss profile on them).
