Choosing the Best Cloud
The first step in selecting a cloud provider is to match the cloud functionality and capabilities and technical specifications for each application. Most enterprises with a multi-cloud strategy are running each application in a single cloud. Is this the best method for your data? This is not as difficult to choose the best cloud for a workload as this seems. A public cloud, for example, meets the goals of many enterprises.
What are your database needs, core services, and additional services? Answers to these questions can play a significant role in what vendors you consider. Cloud computing’s variable expense approach complicates market comparison but offers significant savings opportunities. Prices shift constantly, so it can be difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison. On average, 75-80 percent of the cloud expenses would come from computing resources.
It is important to know when evaluating the cloud vendors that they offer support and the costs of such service. Some support models are priced as a percentage of your cloud spend. You would also have higher support costs if cloud spending is high.
