American Cloud

Data transfer is one of the quietest lines on a cloud bill. At American Cloud, its zero. No egress fees, no allowance to run out.

Straight from our CTO. Scott Brookshire on taking what we've learned running OpenColo in Santa Clara, plus deep ISP and dark-fiber relationships, to new locations: "Just scale, scale, scale."

Most teams treat sovereignty as a hosting question. It's an exit question. 36% of large orgs need over a year to leave a critical provider. 10% have nowhere to go. A local region you can't leave is still someone else's decision.

Cornami needed data center power and raised floor — but as a lab, not a rack. American Cloud made it work. "I just don't believe I could find that anywhere else in the valley." Two years in, now looking to take more space.

What 10TB/month of outbound data costs you: 1. AWS — about $900 2. Google Cloud — about $1,200 3. Azure — about $870 4. American Cloud — $0 Same bytes. Same month.

Why has cloud infrastructure become so dependent on the vendor that enterprises need entire engineering functions just to abstract themselves away from it? That’s not flexibility. That’s an industry compensating for lock-in. We believe portability should be the default from day one. Your infrastructure should serve your business without making your business dependent on the provider. If you agree, repost this.

Hear it from our partners: Four years of moving traffic between Bay Area data centers — and Big Fiber points to one thing about working with American Cloud: transparency. Direct access. Fast responses. New routes in development. 100% underground. Built to scale.

Here's why the headline number is never the number that matters: One provider cut compute pricing 8% across all regions this year. Its egress rate is still the highest of the three majors. Know what your paying for before the first bill arrives. Transparent pricing is a core value not a pr stunt

Free migration support in the first 30 days isn't a promotion. It's an admission that the hardest part of switching clouds was never the technology. 24/7 US-based engineers. No tiers.

Tuesday night we opened our Santa Clara data center to a full house of AI-native founders and operators. Racks, cooling, redundancy planning — walked through with the engineers and execs who run them. Thank you to everyone who came curious. #SFTechWeek

The uncomfortable truth about redundancy: You don’t really know if you have it until something fails. Not so long ago, one cloud outage (we're not mentioning names) took nearly 10 hours to identify the root cause and hours more to fully resolve. That’s when the architecture gets exposed. Backups, failover plans, multi-region design… Only count if they actually keep you running when the primary path breaks.

This #SFTechWeek event happens on a data center floor. Tue Oct 6, 6–9pm PT · Santa Clara Walk the racks, then refereshments + shop talk with our engineers. Uber credits on us. Last call, few seats left 👇 partiful.com/e/2jKopmq43U3ye…

“Vendor lock-in is just part of using the cloud.” WRONG. Lock-in isn’t a requirement. It’s what happens when your cloud provider makes leaving more expensive, more complex, and more disruptive than it needs to be. Even when staying no longer works for your business. Your infrastructure, your business, don't limit your freedom to choose what’s best for it. Don’t fall for the lock-in myth.

The cheapest time to fix your cloud architecture is before you build it. Wrong instance. Wrong provider. Unexpected egress fees. You can feel the consequences as early as the first bill That’s why we and our clients prioritize transparent pricing and zero egress fees. You should understand the economics before the bill shows up

Questions to bring to our Santa Clara data center on Oct 6: → How much redundancy do you need? → How do you scale AI without scaling the bill? → Where does your data live? Our engineers will answer on the floor, 6–9pm PT. RSVP 👇 partiful.com/e/2jKopmq43U3ye… #SFTechWeek

Ever seen the cloud up close? Oct 6, 6–9pm PT: we're opening our Santa Clara data center to AI founders + the VCs backing them. Walk the floor with our engineers. Stay for refreshments + shop talk. Uber credits on us. Limited spots 👇 partiful.com/e/2jKopmq43U3ye… #SFTechWeek

We've been sitting on some good old fashioned video testimonials from some of our customers, over the next few weeks you'll see more of these. Getting started with a great team, @bitmotive, that's been with us since the beginning 🇺🇸 ☁️
