Making the Switch
Why are companies moving away from public cloud?
Cloud Cost Risks
Public cloud costs can escalate due to underestimated usage and unmonitored consumption, inefficient resource allocation, complex pricing structures, and hidden data transfer expenses.
Vendor Dependency
Utilizing public cloud services ties the business to the chosen provider, potentially limiting flexibility and innovation.
Performance Variability
Public cloud instances may experience performance fluctuations due to shared resources and network congestion.
Data Privacy Concerns
Entrusting sensitive data to a third-party cloud provider raises privacy concerns in regulated industries with strict compliance requirements.
Limited Infrastructure Control
Public cloud users have limited control over underlying infrastructure, which may restrict optimization possibilities.
Operational Complexity
Migrating to the cloud can be complex without proper planning. Bare metal deployments offer a simpler transition, avoiding the need for a multi-cloud strategy.
HorizonIQ Bare Metal vs AWS Public Cloud
| HorizonIQ Bare Metal Servers | AWS Public Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor Options | Wide range of Intel & AMD processors available. | Limited to AWS-specific EC2 instance types. |
| Core Count | Processors range from 4 to 32 cores. | Instance types offer varying core counts, but are generally lower than bare metal. |
| Pricing | Starting prices range from $39 to $293 per month, with 15% discounts for 36-month contracts. Predictable pricing every month. | Pricing varies based on instance type, region, and usage. No long-term discounts for pay-as-you-go model. |
| Cost Savings | Potential for up to 71% annual cost savings compared to public cloud. | For smaller footprints with varying workloads, using public cloud may be more cost-effective. |
| Customization | Ability to customize hardware configuration to specific needs. | Limited customization options, with a one-size-fits-all approach unless spending at enterprise scale. |
| Performance | Dedicated, predictable hardware performance. | Shared infrastructure can lead to performance variability. |
| Security | Dedicated physical hardware for enhanced security. | Potential security concerns due to shared infrastructure. |
| Compliance | Better suited for compliance-sensitive workloads. | May not meet strict compliance requirements. |
| Managed Services | Comprehensive set of server management and optimization tasks across three service tiers, with 24/7 support and a 100% uptime SLA. | AWS Managed Services focuses more on managing the underlying AWS infrastructure rather than providing the same granular server-level support. |
