The cloud was supposed to save organisations money. At first it did, but exorbitant data egress fees, expensive architecture options, platform dependence and vendor lock-in have almost completely undermined cloud computing’s cost advantages – to the point that many enterprises today are delaying their move to the cloud, or even reverse-migrating out of the cloud. These concerns only grow more urgent during times of economic uncertainty.
But cloud computing’s advantages – scalability, flexibility, global performance, lack of overhead and so on – continue to make it the best choice for the modern, global, hybrid environment in which most business is conducted today.
Fortunately, there are ways to make the cloud a money-saving option again. In this paper, we explore the root cause of cloud costs and how to address them.
