Cloud object storage has quickly become a cornerstone of the web, with apps and services relying on Amazon S3 or comparable services from other cloud giants like Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage.
According to Cloudwards research, total cloud storage is expected to reach 200 zettabytes by 2025, with cloud infrastructure services generating over $330 billion in annual revenue. As data demands surge, the next generation of connected experiences will outgrow the storage services provided by cloud giants.
Augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR), autonomous vehicles, and large 8K content delivery will not just require high bandwidth, but low latency to serve objects and feed edge computation and decision making. Alongside latency problems, the large file sizes at play in content-rich experiences mean that high per-GB storage costs and egress fees will become unsustainable for anyone looking to build an experience with large content demands.
Egress fees are one of the most misunderstood and frustrating aspects of cloud pricing. Organizations often don't realize the true cost of moving data out of the cloud until they receive an unexpectedly large bill. Corey Quinn, Cloud Economist, The Duckbill Group
Storing objects with Telnyx Storage costs $0.006 per GiB, per month. That's more than a 60% cost saving over S3's standard entry-level storage costs. We'll never charge egress fees, so you can export your data without worry.
| Provider | Storage (per GB/mo) | Egress Fees | S3 Compatible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telnyx Storage | $0.006 | None | ✅ Yes |
| Amazon S3 | $0.023 | $0.09/GB | ✅ Native |
| Backblaze B2 | $0.006 | $0.01/GB | ✅ Yes |
| Wasabi | $0.0069 | None* | ✅ Yes |
| Cloudflare R2 | $0.015 | None | ✅ Yes |
*Wasabi has minimum storage duration and egress caps. See their pricing page for details.
Plus, our operations costs are lower than S3's, so you can build, test, and scale your applications for less. Learn more about Telnyx Storage pricing.
We're building Telnyx Storage by deploying modern, distributed infrastructure around the US. By storing objects closer to end-users, Telnyx Storage customers can access and serve their objects to end-users faster, shaving milliseconds off latency.
To illustrate how low latency can transform an end-user's experience and enable low-latency, content-rich use cases, let's use an example. In autonomous driving applications serving small files to vehicles moving at highway speeds, 80 milliseconds of latency (typically seen in centralized cloud storage services) means vehicles will move four feet between requesting and receiving a response. Cutting that latency to 5 milliseconds with edge data centers means those same vehicles will move less than four inches between request and response.
Edge computing architectures, as tracked by the CNCF Cloud Native Landscape, increasingly depend on low-latency storage to enable real-time decision making at the edge.
Telnyx APIs to store, manage, and access objects are fully compatible with the S3 API specification, so you can simply point your S3-centric applications and services at Telnyx Storage API endpoints. No more wasted development cycles during painstaking migrations.
Our S3-compatible API supports native encryption, so you can encrypt objects when adding them to a Telnyx Storage bucket. For implementation details, see our object encryption documentation.
Open-source tools like MinIO and rclone work seamlessly with Telnyx Storage, giving you flexibility in how you manage and sync your data.
Telnyx Storage is for businesses building backup and restore applications, autonomous vehicles, 8K content delivery, or any field that requires data storage at low cost with low latency.

What is Telnyx Storage? Telnyx Storage is an S3-compatible object storage service built on distributed infrastructure for lower costs, zero egress fees, and reduced latency compared to centralized cloud providers.
How does Telnyx Storage pricing compare to AWS S3? Telnyx Storage costs $0.006/GB/month with no egress fees, while S3 standard storage costs $0.023/GB/month plus $0.09/GB for egress. That's over 60% savings on storage alone, with additional savings on data transfer.
Is Telnyx Storage S3 compatible? Yes, Telnyx Storage is fully compatible with the S3 API. You can use existing S3 SDKs, CLI tools, and applications by simply changing the endpoint URL.
What is low latency storage? Low latency storage is a system optimized to return reads and writes in microseconds, prioritizing fast response over peak throughput. Latency is affected by media type, interface, queue depth, and payload size.
What use cases is Telnyx Storage best for? Telnyx Storage excels at backup and archiving, media storage and delivery, IoT data collection, AI/ML training datasets, and any application requiring cost-effective, low-latency object storage.
How do I get started with Telnyx Storage? Sign up for a free Mission Control Portal account, create a storage bucket, and start uploading objects using the S3-compatible API or web interface.
Does Telnyx Storage support encryption? Yes, Telnyx Storage supports server-side encryption. You can encrypt objects when uploading them to protect data at rest.
