Skyscape Assesses The Total Cost Of Operation Of Cloud
The report demonstrates how cloud solutions can offer significant cost savings when compared to on-premise offerings.
Skyscape Cloud Services Limited has released the results of its research into the true cost savings that can be achieved by moving to the cloud. Skyscape’s report, ‘Cloud: The Total Cost of Operation – Building the business case for change’ compares and assesses the different associated costs of traditional on-premise solutions with the cloud for real-world computing scenarios faced by the UK Public Sector at different business impact levels.
In order to assess whether the cloud can really deliver cost savings when compared to a traditional hosted solution, Skyscape compared and analysed cloud solutions against dedicated, virtualised solutions in the following three real-world computing scenarios: An Impact Level 0 (IL0) compute platform for test and development; an IL2 compute platform used to host a high-traffic web application used by citizens and an IL3 compute platform used to host a complex enterprise application.
