Managed async bulk transfers as-a-service seems relevant to anyone writing lots of data doing multisite including DR. You can easily have this problem and not have yet hit any other scale problems that are addressed by the alluded-to tools people love to hate (k8s, tf, containers etc).

What is being managed here with Effingo is the relatively tiny links between sites, not the bandwidth on the fat local links. Bandwidth needs to be managed and prioritized across all the various copies that are happening across different services apps and teams simultaneously across the company, and across the systems themselves as aggregate for the links. Managing it gives you control on cost but also ensures optimal use within the constraints imposed and consistent and reliable handling of the copy use case.
