New York, New York, April 2023 - Usage AI, a leading provider of cost-saving solutions for enterprise businesses using Amazon Web Services (AWS), is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking new product: RedShift Reserved Instances (RIs) with guaranteed buyback. This offering is an industry first and has been developed in collaboration with AWS.

RedShift Reserved Instances offer various pricing options, with No Upfront Reserved Instances (NURI) providing significant savings compared to On-Demand pricing. Usage AI focuses on three-year, no-upfront RedShift RIs, enabling customers to enjoy substantial cost savings without the long-term commitment typically associated with these services. The guaranteed buyback feature provides customers with unparalleled flexibility, allowing them to adjust their usage as needed without incurring any financial penalties.
