Karine DilanyanDiscover why Atmosphere OpenStack is a cost-effective, scalable cloud solution for businesses to optimize costs and avoid vendor lock-in in 2025.
Cloud computing has been a game-changer for businesses, but as cloud services scale, so too do the costs. From storage to compute power, the traditional public cloud model often leads to ballooning expenses. Many businesses are beginning to realize that without proper cost control, their cloud expenses may surpass expectations. In fact, the OpenStack services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.71% from 2025 to 2033, driven by a strong adoption of open-source cloud platforms.
The need for more predictable, flexible, and affordable cloud solutions is more critical than ever. In this context, Atmosphere OpenStack, VEXXHOST’s fully managed OpenStack platform, offers a smart alternative. Atmosphere provides a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solution that helps businesses mitigate unpredictable costs while delivering high-performance infrastructure.
Why Cloud Costs Are Skyrocketing
Cloud computing costs can quickly escalate due to several factors. Below we will present a few of them.
Scaling Requirements
As businesses grow, their cloud needs expand, leading to higher operational costs. While traditional cloud services offer scalability, they also come with increasing fees as resources and data volumes rise.
Usage-based Billing
The “pay-per-use” model, common among public cloud providers, can be advantageous for some but costly for others. Without proper monitoring and optimization, businesses may end up overpaying for services they don’t fully utilize.
Vendor Lock-in
Many organizations find themselves tied to the pricing structures and limitations of a single cloud provider. This lack of flexibility can result in higher-than-expected costs over time.
Data Transfer Costs
Moving large datasets in and out of the cloud can incur hefty charges, especially when working with public clouds that bill for both storage and data transfer.
For businesses looking for an alternative, Atmosphere OpenStack provides full control over pricing and cloud configurations, eliminating unexpected fees associated with traditional public cloud providers. With Atmosphere, you pay only for the resources you need, and your costs are fully transparent.
What is OpenStack? A Cost-Effective Alternative
OpenStack is an open-source cloud platform that allows organizations to create and manage private and hybrid cloud infrastructures. With OpenStack, businesses gain the flexibility to build cloud environments tailored to their specific needs while avoiding the premium costs associated with public cloud providers.
Atmosphere OpenStack enhances this by offering a managed service that removes the burden of infrastructure management. With Atmosphere, businesses can enjoy the benefits of OpenStack's flexibility without the operational overhead. Atmosphere is designed to optimize costs by providing high-performance infrastructure without the unpredictable pricing models typical of public clouds.

Why Atmosphere Is a Smart Investment in 2025
With the growing complexity of cloud pricing, businesses must seek a solution that balances cost with flexibility. Atmosphere OpenStack is a smart investment that empowers organizations to manage their cloud costs while scaling with confidence. Here’s why:
Predictable and Flexible Pricing
Atmosphere OpenStack’s fully managed service offers businesses the benefits of OpenStack with predictable monthly billing, making it easier to control cloud costs in 2025.
Avoiding Vendor Lock-in
One of the most significant drawbacks of public cloud services is vendor lock-in, where businesses are dependent on a single provider for cloud infrastructure, often leading to escalating costs. With Atmosphere OpenStack, businesses can avoid this issue and maintain full control over their infrastructure, ensuring long-term cost savings and flexibility.
Customizability for Optimal Resource Allocation
Atmosphere allows businesses to tailor their cloud infrastructure to meet specific needs, ensuring they are only paying for the resources they require. In contrast, traditional public cloud services often force organizations to buy into resource plans that are too broad or costly.
Reducing Data Transfer and Storage Costs
Moving large datasets in and out of the cloud incurs data transfer costs, a challenge when using public clouds. With Atmosphere, businesses can optimize data storage and processing in a private cloud environment, minimizing these transfer costs and ensuring a more cost-efficient solution.
