Businesses could be saving as much as 66% on their IaaS infrastructure by looking at pricing differently

Current Models
• Buying Capacity
• Minimum component
• Paying for what you reserve
CPU Cycles
Memory

How They Are Inefficient
• If you plan the wrong component levels• Not based on what you are really using• Transient workloads• Providers price by “Chunks”

Keys to your success
• Usage Information• General usage info for CPU, Memory, Disk• Current usage and impact on performance• Current network performance information• Virtualized environment

Best Practice #1: Gather Data
• Extract data from your monitoring tools• Ability to sort and filter on the data• Filter on time, 95th percentiles• You need analysis of the data

Best Practice #1: Look Everywhere
• Don’t assume one vendor has the lowest cost• Evaluate public cloud, private clouds, multi-cloud• Evaluate your current performance issues• Cost will differ for the same type of IaaS service

Best Practice #1: Benchmarking
• Have a solid performance baseline• Use to check against when choosing a vendor• Performance in the cloud is tied to pricing• Benchmarks help when making changes
