Today, I would like to talk to you about the differences in the cost comparison between self-built servers and Shanghai CVM. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor summarized the following. I hope you can get something from this article.

Compared with the equipment purchase, management expenses, long-term maintenance and other costs of self-built servers, the cost of using CVM products in Shanghai Cloud is definitely the highest priority for enterprises.

Input cost of self-built server

Enterprises need to consider the total cost of long-term use and maintenance of internal IT, not just the total cost of infrastructure. This cost will include both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include hardware and software, enterprises for physical servers, software licenses, maintenance contracts, warranties, consumables, materials, spare parts, and so on. When an enterprise is in data collection mode, it should also understand the network bandwidth, storage, and database capacity consumed by servers and other technologies.

In addition, it is important to have detailed information about the infrastructure, such as the number of servers, database type, and storage capacity. The biggest indirect cost is the lost productivity of employees and customers if the enterprise's IT infrastructure fails. You can determine the frequency and duration of server downtime by looking at the log file and multiplying that time by the average rate per hour.

If the loss of revenue due to downtime can be estimated, it should also be included. The indirect cost situation varies from company to company. Indirect costs are difficult to estimate, but they are important because they account for a large portion of the total IT cost.

The input cost of the CVM

Although the pricing of cloud computing is somewhat complex, cloud infrastructure providers have now simplified the pricing structure to make it easier for potential customers to understand them. Cloud providers have many cloud cost calculators that let enterprises know the cost of cloud infrastructure.

Advanced calculators ask for more information about the cloud host and storage, and take network and IT labor costs into account in TCO calculations. Companies can download a complete report that provides a detailed breakdown of costs, assumptions and methods used in the cost model, and frequently asked questions. In addition to calculators, many cloud service providers provide monthly cost calculators so that managers can understand their monthly bills in great detail.

In the long run, the cost of renting a CVM on Shanghai Cloud is better than that of a self-built server, and it is easier to manage and maintain. CVM has a leading distributed file storage + 10,000 M transfer network + optimized algorithm to achieve ultra-fast IO. Users are free to choose CPU, memory, data disk, bandwidth and other configurations according to different needs.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the difference between the cost of self-built servers and those of Shanghai CVM? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
