Story 1 – Cloud for Agility

Recently a large organization was expanding and building a new division. The projected CapEx for the new setup was somewhere around

Operational Cost3,00,000 INR

Application Development Cost 15,00,000 INR

Hardware and Infrastructure Cost 25,00,000 INR

7


But after 6 months, they had to shut this new division due to some business reasons. The decision indeed caused some upfront loses. But, the tech team was able to reduce the infrastructure cost.

8


And the final figures were somewhere around this: Operational Cost

3,00,000 INR


Hardware and Infrastructure Cost 12,500 INR

How?

9


And the final figures were somewhere around this: Operational Cost

3,00,000 INR


Hardware and Infrastructure Cost 12,500 INR

By Converting CapEx to OpEx

Story 2 – Auto Scaling For Dummies

When we say Cloud Scaling, the first thing comes to mind is Auto Scaling an infrastructure on Cloud using APIs. That’s true but might not be the case for everyone.

But, before we go ahead.

11



Lets understand what's Auto Scaling

12



The Story Continues ….

13


I recently was consulting for a stock image website. Got them migrated to Cloud for better scalability. But they needed to cut more cost.

They were running the site on a single server, so there was no chance of auto scaling. Let me show what I did.

14


That’s a straight 13% saving

And Here is the Result

15


The Point Am trying to make is


16


Even smaller and test setups can get benefitted by Cloud Scalability


17


And save cost


18

Story 3 – Running on empty

Here is a startup story. For which I am consulting currently.

19


The Website is completely functional

But we are still doing a restricted beta

So its not open for public yet and the load is negligible

Now guess how much we are paying for it today

20





Approx. INR 0/- per month

21





And the same setup can be scaled to handle 10,000 users with a single reboot.

22

Lets build your company KMS

Ok, so enough of stories.

Now lets build a knowledge management system for your company on Cloud

PS: This could be any live website

23

Lets build your company blog

Few Concerns

Nothing in this world comes without a few lines of fine print. And here are some basic fine lines which you should look out for most of the cloud providers. Who in Gods name runs a datacenter on his Credit Card?

Compute resources (IOP…) are not free

Neither is backup

Make sure your vendor has the right security accreditations and certifications

Security is your responsibility
