Report Comparing Cloud Service And On Premises Installation Of Server Hardware

Question

You are expected to compare the cost of using a cloud service versus on-premise installation for the given requirements.

Requirements:

  • 3 powerful servers with at least 8 cores, 8 GB memory, 50 GB SSD disk (for application frontend)
  • 6 powerful servers with at least 8 cores, 50 GB memory, 100 GB SSD disk (3 for application backend and 3 for database server)
  • 4 moderate servers with 4 cores, 8 GB memory, 40 GB disk (for different purposes)
  • 10 TB Disk capacity
  • 2 load balancing systems (one for frontend, one for backend – For an example, F5 BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager 1600 - load balancing device can be used)
  • Network devices: Router, switch, cabling
  • 2 alternative connection via different service providers (10 Mbps is enough for work hours- 10 Mbps metro Ethernet can be used)
  • As OS, Windows Server will be used. As database, MS SQL Server will be used.
  • UPS system for 1 hour
  • Your calculations should consider 5 years period, since on-premise systems need to be replaced at every 5 years.
  • Do not forget to include some hidden costs for on-premise systems such as special room, HVAC, energy consumption, etc.
  • Consider also IT personnel requirement for these two cases and accordingly include the costs.
  • Maintenance cost of IT systems typically increases proportional to the age of the systems.

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
