Cloud computing is a model for delivering on-demand computing resources over the Internet. This article considers three high-level cost categories: compute, data transfer, and storage. Compute cost includes the cost of virtual machines, containers, serverless functions, etc. Data transfer cost include...
Business model is relatively young topic in computing world and recently it has turned out as a very popular topic for research in academic or any research industry. Business model is a topmost and conceptual layer in the stack architecture of cloud computing [2] which represents a simplified ...
To fill this gap in tools for evaluating the cost benefit of cloud services as an alternative to on-premise computing, a cost modelling system for cloud computing (CCMS) is proposed. A prototype model was developed to simulate the cost incurred on maintaining an on-premise IT infrastructure ...
The cloud computing paradigm has been established as a promising model for using computational resources and software resources on-demand [1], [2], [3]. As one of its advantages, it shifts complex IT resource management tasks typically performed by a company that is in need of computational ...
Azure offers several storage services, each with its own pricing model. Additional charges apply for snapshots, transactions on data and data transfer volume. Example prices in the following table are for the East U.S. 2 region with locally redundant storage and are subject to change. For deta...
Cloud service providers use several common cost models, each with advantages and disadvantages. Typically, choices include a pay-as-you-go model billed by usage, a fixed-price subscription model, payment for long-term, steady-state use, discounts for volume commitments, and discounts for use duri...
A cloud server farm is model as an M/M/R queuing model, such that system congestion cost and balking event loss can be estimated analytically. A cost function is developed by taking system operating cost, working mode cost, system congestion cost, etc. into consideration. Two heuristic ...
cloud environments can quickly become cluttered with unused or underutilized resources, adding unnecessary complexity and chewing up IT budgets. After all, though cloud computing offers customers the benefit of paying for only the cloud resources they choose, cloud service providers (CSPs) may still ...
