The financial impact of cloud adoption on companies
| Resumo: | Cloud computing has revolutionized the IT industry by offering customers computing services that can be allocated on-demand. Although countless enterprises have migrated their services to the cloud, this migration comes with its own set of challenges and financial implications. This thesis compares the cost of on-premises and cloud-based solutions for applications that experience variable user traffic. These applications can benefit from the on-demand resource allocation offered by the cloud. We consider a content streaming application and apply an established data center cost model alongside the official Google Cloud Platform calculator to calculate the cost of ownership of both solutions. Finally, we explore the potential financial benefits and considerations associated with cloud computing, contributing to the understanding of how cloud adoption can impact an organization's financials. |
