The quote in their head was $10,000 a month. Once Jeremy Pease's team modeled the real requirements, staffing, connectivity, compliance, the number came back at $80,000.\nJeremy Pease is CEO of Aptum, a hybrid multi cloud managed service provider. He joins Max Clark to break down how IT leaders should actually decide where applications run, across public cloud, private cloud, colocation, and bare metal, instead of starting with the platform and working backward.\nThey get into egress costs that can exceed the infrastructure bill itself, the VMware exodus ahead of the April 2027 contract deadline, why most companies are running workloads at a scale they never needed, and why repatriation almost always requires someone willing to make the unpopular call.\nThe question isn't whether you negotiated a good rate. It's whether you're on the right infrastructure in the first place.\n\nWhat You'll Learn\nHow to tell if a workload actually belongs in public cloud, private cloud, colocation, or bare metal\nWhy egress fees, not compute, are often the real driver of a surprise cloud bill\nWhat's forcing companies to leave VMware before April 2027, and what it actually costs to stay\nWhy \"multi cloud\" rarely means what the marketing implies\nHow to build the ROI case your own IT team can't build for itself\nWhat a real disaster recovery conversation looks like once the price tag is on the table\n\nIn this conversation:\n\n\nWhat We Mentioned\nAptum\nAWS\nMicrosoft Azure\nGoogle Cloud\nVMware (now part of Broadcom)\nBroadcom\nNutanix\nProxmox\nZerto\nMegaport\nEquinix\nDigital Realty\nNetflix (one of the earliest and most public cloud repatriation cases)\nDropbox\nFinOps\nEDP (Enterprise Discount Program)\nRI (Reserved Instance)\nRTO / RPO (Recovery Time Objective / Recovery Point Objective)\nDR (Disaster Recovery)\n\nAbout Jeremy Pease\nJeremy Pease is CEO of Aptum, a global hybrid multi cloud managed service provider.
