The codex is designed to help CIOs and CFOs decipher cloud computing costs.
451 Research has introduced its Cloud Pricing Codex, the first-ever cloud pricing guidebook, which simplifies the complex economic landscape in determining the true costs of cloud computing services. The Cloud Pricing Codex provides CIOs and CFOs a clear roadmap on how to understand the price and value of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings.
The Cloud Pricing Codex helps organizations tackle pricing plans that vary hugely among cloud service providers, not just in terms of virtual machines but also service bundling, billable attributes and usage metrics. It breaks down virtual machine pricing methods into a cloud pricing taxonomy that enables cloud consumers to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each pricing model. The Cloud Pricing Codex shows the classification of pricing options and bundles for a number of IaaS providers.
