Pump.co, The Fastest Way to Save 60% on AWS Spend, Breaks into the Cloud Market

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:54:37 GMT

Pump.co is excited to announce the official launch of its cost-saving platform, which is designed to help small businesses optimize and save big on their cloud infrastructure. Cloud spend is one of the leading expenses for tech companies, amounting to $600 billion in global costs, and while larger companies might be able to shoulder the burden, smaller businesses are often unexpectedly overwhelmed by the growing expense as they don’t have the same capital and resources to focus on optimization as their bigger competitors. This resource gap pushed Pump into action with its Groupon-adjacent model, which helps businesses save up to 60% on their cloud operations.The company’s “Groupon-style” model is Pump’s biggest draw. When a client joins the platform, their business gains access to higher discounts and savings. Their AWS account or organization benefits from group buying power and economies of scale, and collective billing leverages the purchasing power of the entire collective, resu...

Bill Reinhard | New York Daily News (TNS)Welcome back to the third season of Fantasy Billboard! We kick off the pre-draft analysis with a list of players that are ripe for exploding stats that your competitors may overlook. Last year I gave you Daniel Jones (9th in QB scoring) and encouraged you to keep the faith with oft-injured Christian McCaffrey (2nd in RB scoring) as breakout players. Let’s look at my choices for 2023.Jordan Love, Packers QB — Now that his love-hate relationship with Aaron Rodgers is over, all you need is Love. Rodgers took Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb with him to New York, but he left some pretty good receivers behind in Green Bay. The triumvirate of Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs (Love’s favorite target in camp thus far), and rookie Jayden Reed should ease Love’s learning curve to put up some solid stats in the weak NFC North. And don’t forget his pedigree. He was the 26th pick in the 2020 draft after throwing for 6,969 yards and accounting for 59 TDs in his ...
