The cost of using the public cloud
A Total Cost of Ownership analysis comparing AWS and VxRail


For many companies, the public cloud is an appealing option, either for companies lacking the capital and expertise to operate their own IT systems, or for organisations with existing data centres wanting more IT agility with limited risk.

This report compares the Total Cost of Ownership of an on-site hyperconverged solution with a comparable set-up in the cloud. The on-site infrastructure is a Dell EMC VxRail hyperconverged appliance structure, and the cloud solution is Amazon Web Services (AWS).
