Cloud economy
Dear Habrovchane!
That ended the long May holidays. To enter the working mode, we offer you a little count.

Everyone who was interested in cloud technologies might have noticed that the Internet often speaks about the benefits of using clouds, but rarely detailed examples with calculations are shown.
We decided to reduce the existing gap and invite you to calculate the benefit from the clouds with us under the cut.
Before proceeding to the calculations, let's look at why there are so few such examples on the Internet with preliminary calculations. The answer is really simple - a large number of possible scenarios. To produce averaged, universal calculation is an extremely difficult and unnecessary task.
For this reason, we calculate the benefits for a certain virtual company, having previously limited it, as in school tasks, to conditions.
Consider that:
We will not take into account in the calculations:
force majeure situations for the traditional IT infrastructure model, assessing intangible factors (time, nerves and risks), spending on the Internet and consumables, property tax and VAT offset are also not taken into account.
In the calculations, for comparison, two models will be involved, “all in the office” and “everything in the cloud”.
There are possible hybrid models of use, but, unfortunately, they do not give a transparent picture. For this reason, we will not consider them.
Prices for the cloud model and the traditional one were taken from various open sources (see the end).
So, the company employs 50 people. Requirements for fault tolerance and security are average.
It should be noted that the cost of using licenses in the cloud is higher, but there are some advantages to this. You can easily change the number of licensed copies and use only the most recent software.
Separately, we note the line "money costs money." At this point, we took into account that when using the cloud scenario, it is not necessary to spend the entire allocated budget, and it can be used in business, or put on deposit. The average yield is 6% per annum, the effective rate is 3% per annum of the total amount.
Now consider the exact same company, but with branches. For example, take five branches of 10 people each. Duplicate information from the previous calculation will not.
Given the affiliates, the situation has changed somewhat, compared to the first example. Maintenance of each branch is cheaper, but given that it’s necessary to maintain five different points, it will cost the company more. Maintenance of all branches in one point (cloud) is economically more attractive.
As can be seen from the resulting calculations for our virtual company with selected conditions, the use of the cloud model is much more profitable, especially considering the branches.
Separately, we note that in no case did we pretend to universality in our calculations, for concrete situations we need our own calculations.
In any case, thanks for considering with us!
We hope you find it interesting :)

Consider that:
- the hardware used and the software over time loses its relevance or its service life goes beyond. The current update standard is a period of once every three years; we take this period as the main temporary settlement period;
- a “standard” company, that is, employees perform functions: working with documents, correspondence by mail, preparing financial documents (using 1C), communicating via Skype, printing and scanning papers, etc .;
- Employees work in the office.
