Industry - Swedish Video Streamer
StayLive, a Swedish video streaming provider specializing in media and broadcasting services, started their cloud transformation with AWS and continues leveraging multiple AWS services today. But while AWS served many of their needs well, storage costs became their biggest pain point - not only was it their most expensive service, but those costs kept climbing relentlessly each month with no end in sight. StayLive learned about Amove while researching cloud storage alternatives and found the Cloudflyer migration and all of the features that came with Click.
Business Challenge: Cut Unnecessary Costs to Stay Competitive
StayLive needed to slash their escalating cloud storage expenses and eliminate punishing egress fees that were eating into their margins. They knew a more cost-effective solution had to exist, but hadn't found the right partner to make it happen - until they discovered Amove.
“Moving from S3 to Amove Global storage was a decision we made to reduce both storage and egress costs.”
– Johannes Rubensson, CTO of StayLive
Solution: Switch to Faster, Cheaper Cloud Storage with Cloudflyer
Amove's Cloudflyer makes it simple for businesses stuck with expensive cloud storage to break free and switch providers quickly. Current AWS S3 and Microsoft Azure customers can escape high storage costs and eliminate ongoing egress fees by migrating to Amove Cloud storage. The biggest barrier? Those punishing egress charges that providers use to lock customers in. Cloudflyer solves this by covering egress costs for migrations of 10 TB or more from AWS, removing the financial roadblock that keeps enterprises trapped in expensive storage solutions.
“Moving from S3 to Amove Global storage was a strategic move to reduce both storage and egress costs,” said Johannes Rubensson, CTO of StayLive. “In order to move our video content from S3 to Global, we were up for a bit of a challenge if it wasn’t for Cloudflyer. "We knew migrating our extensive video library would be complex and time-consuming without the right support. Cloudflyer eliminated every headache we anticipated - they handled the entire setup and migration process seamlessly. Instead of our team spending countless hours figuring out the technical details, we could stay focused on what drives our business forward."

Amove storage also outperforms AWS on speed while eliminating egress fees and API charges entirely. Businesses requiring frequent transfers and high-speed access see even greater savings without any performance compromise.
Full S3 compatibility means organizations can continue using existing applications and workflows seamlessly - no disruption, just immediate cost savings and better performance.
Customer Results
Rising storage costs was StayLive’s biggest pain point. After a quick call with Amove, Johannes Rubensson, CTO, StayLive was convinced this solution would slash their S3 storage costs by 80% and eliminate egress fees entirely. Best of all, Cloudflyer covered the migration egress costs that would have otherwise made switching prohibitively expensive.
In just 24 hours, Cloudflyer seamlessly transferred 89 TBs from StayLive's S3 account to its new Amove Global storage. The migration was immediately followed by Click Sync activation for automated daily transfers, creating a frictionless escape from S3. The investment in Cloudflyer will pay for itself within weeks as StayLive's new storage bills become a fraction of their previous AWS costs.
For a streaming media provider like StayLive, high-speed data transfer is business-critical. With Amove Global storage, they now achieve those speeds without AWS's punishing egress fees eating into their margins. As StayLive scales its business, this Cloudflyer-powered migration will deliver compounding returns on its smart storage decision.
