About HSS
Hi Side Solutions was founded in 2019 by cloud technologists with a shared vision on how to efficiently and effectively bring cloud computing best practices to its customers. HSS foundations are in full automation, fault tolerant architectures, and continuous “cloud frugality”. Our experts believe the most neglected dimension for new cloud adopters is cost. From that notion, we’ve created a new type of cloud-based technology consulting where reducing costs would be the center of technology solutions, not an after thought.
