This document summarizes a webinar about inefficient Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) pricing models and best practices for analyzing usage data. The webinar discusses how current IaaS pricing models can lead businesses to pay up to 66% more than necessary by not accounting for transient workloads. It recommends gathering usage data, looking at multiple vendor options, and benchmarking performance to establish a baseline and evaluate pricing and infrastructure changes more accurately. The webinar aims to help businesses optimize their IaaS environments for both performance and cost.

Iaas Pricing Models
- 1. Cloud Webinar Series What They Don’t Tell You About IaaS Pricing Models December 17, 2013 Speaker: Jeremy Littlejohn, Founder and Chief Analyst RISC Networks
- 2. Agenda 1. Why today’s IaaS pricing models are not efficient. 2. What information is the key to your success? 3. What best practices should you follow?
- 4. Inefficient Pricing Models Businesses could be saving as much as 66% on their IaaS infrastructure by looking at pricing differently
- 5. Current Models • Buying Capacity • Minimum component • Paying for what you reserve CPU Cycles Memory DiskSpace
- 6. How They Are Inefficient • If you plan the wrong component levels • Not based on what you are really using • Transient workloads • Providers price by “Chunks”
- 8. Keys to your success • Usage Information • General usage info for CPU, Memory, Disk • Current usage and impact on performance • Current network performance information • Virtualized environment
- 9. Best Practices Data, Look, Benchmark
- 10. Best Practice #1: Gather Data • Extract data from your monitoring tools • Ability to sort and filter on the data • Filter on time, 95th percentiles • You need analysis of the data
- 11. Best Practice #1: Look Everywhere • Don’t assume one vendor has the lowest cost • Evaluate public cloud, private clouds, multi-cloud • Evaluate your current performance issues • Cost will differ for the same type of IaaS service
- 12. Best Practice #1: Benchmarking • Have a solid performance baseline • Use to check against when choosing a vendor • Performance in the cloud is tied to pricing • Benchmarks help when making changes
