Functional and economic comparison of Russian cloud service providers. Version 2.0
Just over a year ago, I published a comparison of Russian cloud operators : I liked the article a lot and was helpful. About six months later, I began to receive a lot of feedback and requests that it would be nice to make a new review, updating the price data, adding additional services to the request and adding new companies to it. This time, the comparison included already 34 companies (last year there were more than 2 times less), including the foreign services Amazon and Rackspace, and the collection of information took more than two months.
As was the last time, a certain updated configuration of resources and services was chosen, also for a change and at the request of the workers, I added a number of new questions. Since I had experience in a company that provides integrated IT outsourcing services, the requested configuration was chosen based on the most popular services.
The review included 34 companies:
')
ActiveCloud, AWS (Amazon), b2b.beeline.ru, Clodo, Cloud One, Cloud4Y, CloudySky, Croc, DataFort, DataLine, De Novo, DepoCloud, e-Style Telecom, infoboxcloud.ru, ISPserver, IT Lite, IT-Grad , Linx, M1 Cloud, AITeko and MakeCloud *, Oncloud, Orange, Oversun, Parking, Rackspace, Rentacloud, Selectel, Softline, Outsourcing 24, Corus Consulting, Megaphone, Obloteka, Rostelecom O7, RTCOM.
* Ayteko and Makecloud provide services to one company - Servionika. The infrastructure is the same, but the cost of services is different .
The minimum CPU frequency is 2.4 Ghz (100% guarantee)
Total needed:
In order to understand the technical implementation, the candidates were asked 26 questions:
As last time, at the first stage, 6 candidates immediately fell away:
The emphasis was placed on the complexity of providing services (the principle of one window) to cover the tasks of an average company in which the main operating system is Windows.
The evaluation was based on the number of pluses and the total cost. As a rule, it is most convenient for the customer to order services and work with one performer, therefore companies that did not have the requested services received a minus.
++ (super-excellent - functionality or solution that exceeds requests / expectations)
+ (excellent - the functionality or solution is present and fully satisfies the requests)
+ - (medium - the functionality or the solution is partially present, there are limitations)
- (bad - the functionality or solution is completely absent and does not satisfy the requests)
- (super-bad - the functionality or the solution does not satisfy the requests / expectations)
? (information is missing, that is, the question was asked, but the answer was not provided), since the concealment of the requested information is a negative factor in my assessment, in this case we put a minus -
Since some retired candidates provided answers to requests, I decided to leave them in comparative tables and marked them with a red marker for rejected candidates at the selection stage.
During the collection of information, 477 letters were sent and 414 were received. 275 calls were made. Yes, besides the mail I had to talk a lot over the phone, but in my opinion it was worth it
In addition to answering questions and determining the cost of services, I will give some statistics on the speed of response to a request - that is, getting an answer and speed of providing a full commercial proposal (sometimes managers did not indicate some positions in the calculations, or calculated the cost):
In most companies, the response to the request was followed within a few hours, for the rest of the companies it took 1 day or more. The longest answer is from M1Cloud, because the manager went on vacation and lost my application :)
The average time of the offer for 2-3 days. Megafon and e-Style Telecom were the longest.
Further I present to your attention a summary table with answers to the questions posed.
Most companies offer VMware as their primary virtualization platform. I am glad that there are operators offering more than 1 platform.
A decent percentage of companies that have indicated the name of the equipment used, use the blade server. The equipment is not cheap, so they do not save on quality.
Overwhelmingly, the operators indicated the level of reliability of TIER-3 data centers, but it is important to understand that this is actually a TIER-3 compliment, that is, the data center corresponds to TIER-3, but for some reason (for example, for financial reasons ) did not pass his certification in the Uptime Institute.
Only a few data centers from this review are certified by the Uptime Institute. For example, the companies MakeCloud / Aiteco and Croc and upd (07/03/2014): It-grad (from 05.13.2014)
Most operators using a data storage system (DSS) have basically 2 storage controllers, only a small part of 3 or more.
Among the 50% of operators that use storage, the leader is solutions from NetApp.
Despite the fact that some companies answered “yes” to the question: “whether technologies like VMware High Availability are routinely used”, however, there are clear doubts about the implementation of “high availability” without using storage.
During the audit of autonomous systems of operators, it turned out that the number of telecom operators used for fault tolerance by AS is greatly overestimated :)
The analysis used the service Hurricane Electric internet services
For example, in Activecloud I was informed that they have 9 telecom operators used for AS fault tolerance, in fact it turned out to be 1 (Dataline). You can check any operator yourself (replacing the digits with the corresponding AS number) http://bgp.he.net/AS51698
As a result of the check, it turned out that the current number of telecom operators used for AS is as follows:
Thus, Cloud One and Softline companies use AS 49063, owned by Dataline;), which means that these companies do not have their IP, that is, they are fully tied to Dataline and depend on its availability.
Cloudscap and ActiveCloud has its AS, but also tied to Dataline, since for them it is the only operator.
To judge the honesty of the answers of companies to judge you, the pros and cons for it were not placed. But such an explicit and implicit dependence on a single operator is not a positive factor.
Unfortunately, not all companies are provided with 100% of the resources.
Of those who answered, the highest price tag for drives (in this case, SSD) from provider Cloud4y, 71 rubles, to the question why it is so expensive, was justified by providing SSD based on NetApp, and there it is expensive. At the same time, the cost of other drives on Cloud4y is generally lower than others.
Perhaps it will be interesting to someone: about 40% of the polled operators supply Microsoft licenses without VAT, which is a problem for most Russian companies that work with VAT and expect to receive VAT deductions. Thus, the customer is deprived of the opportunity to receive VAT deduction.
Many operators have a free 24-hour support service, the difference lies in the composition of the service and channels through which the customer can call for help.
More than 50% of operators provide support related only to the availability of services.
Not all providers have a system ticket, the main communication channel with support is email and telephone.
More than 50% of operators do not provide accommodation opportunities abroad. Most of the surveyed companies provide test access on request, but on average in the range of 5-10 days.
Of those who can provide access to MMTS-9 and MMTS-10, about 90% of operators are not able to provide access to MMTS-10, basically only to MMTS-9.
Over 60% of operators provide test access for a period not exceeding 1 day.
About 50% of companies are ready to give access to the requested resources.
I left the most interesting for dessert. Not all companies were able to offer a full package of services, therefore, apart from the final cost of services, I indicated in the comments which services are not provided / provided.
In addition, I drew attention to the currency specified in the KP (not all turned out to be rubles), and also included VAT or not. And one more important moment - I indicated one-time payments, which the company requires for installation services, organization of snapshots, setting up services and infrastructure, etc.
9 companies out of the total number of operators surveyed expose commercial offers in foreign currency, 6 companies count in US dollars, 2 companies in euros and 1 company in British pounds. In addition, these same companies do not indicate when calculating VAT.
About 80% (only 6 companies can) companies could not provide the full range of services requested.
I note that some points may be subjective, I tried to be as objective as possible.
To make the assessment of the survey participants as transparent and objective as possible, I used the following point system:
The total number of points is determined by summation. The cost of services has not been evaluated, but is present for review in the final table.
As a result of summing up all the points, the top 5 leaders were:
Cloud4y
Softline
IT-Grad
Cloud One
Activecloud For the
second time in a row, Cloud4y, Softline and Activecloud took the lead.
Below is a summary table of the TOP-5 leaders with an indication of the number of points and the total cost of services, taking into account the maximum discount:
The total cost, which is listed in the table is different from the base, I had to put a lot of effort to break through the maximum discount for each operator, although it was not easy and required more than one iteration.
There were various arguments, requests and even threats;)
On average, the size of the discount on resources (CPU, RAM, HDD) is -12-15%, for other services - 10%.

- Is it possible to test access to the resources requested above?
Immediately disappeared
As last time, at the first stage, 6 candidates immediately fell away:
- Like last time, ISPserver replied that they provide hardware resources. As such, the cloud pool of resources can not provide. Saas services are not available.
- As before, Selectel informed that they do not provide Windows hosting, and they have again reached the limit of scalability of the existing infrastructure. Thus, to solve the task, they will be able to offer only server rental (dedicated), but this solution is no longer interesting, since only the cloud solution is of interest.
- Clodo apologized and said they did not provide Windows hosting.
- b2b.beeline.ru, it turns out does not provide cloud services - the manager told me about it, though not immediately, but after a few days.
- CloudSky does not currently provide cloud services.
- Especially I remember the company Outsourcing24, which refused to answer questions and did not send a commercial offer, although I had to remind about it 3 times and literally beg It argued that answering so many questions is a big job and they are not ready to do it. Honestly, I was shocked by what I heard, but if I don’t want to work, then this is their right and I didn’t bother them anymore :)
Evaluation
The emphasis was placed on the complexity of providing services (the principle of one window) to cover the tasks of an average company in which the main operating system is Windows.
The evaluation was based on the number of pluses and the total cost. As a rule, it is most convenient for the customer to order services and work with one performer, therefore companies that did not have the requested services received a minus.
++ (super-excellent - functionality or solution that exceeds requests / expectations)
+ (excellent - the functionality or solution is present and fully satisfies the requests)
+ - (medium - the functionality or the solution is partially present, there are limitations)
- (bad - the functionality or solution is completely absent and does not satisfy the requests)
- (super-bad - the functionality or the solution does not satisfy the requests / expectations)
? (information is missing, that is, the question was asked, but the answer was not provided), since the concealment of the requested information is a negative factor in my assessment, in this case we put a minus -
Since some retired candidates provided answers to requests, I decided to leave them in comparative tables and marked them with a red marker for rejected candidates at the selection stage.
Communication and reaction speed
During the collection of information, 477 letters were sent and 414 were received. 275 calls were made. Yes, besides the mail I had to talk a lot over the phone, but in my opinion it was worth it
In addition to answering questions and determining the cost of services, I will give some statistics on the speed of response to a request - that is, getting an answer and speed of providing a full commercial proposal (sometimes managers did not indicate some positions in the calculations, or calculated the cost):

The analysis used the service Hurricane Electric internet services
For example, in Activecloud I was informed that they have 9 telecom operators used for AS fault tolerance, in fact it turned out to be 1 (Dataline). You can check any operator yourself (replacing the digits with the corresponding AS number) http://bgp.he.net/AS51698
As a result of the check, it turned out that the current number of telecom operators used for AS is as follows:
| Company | AS | Declared amount telecom operators, used for AS | Real amount telecom operators, used for AS |
| Activecloud | AS51698 | 9 | one |
| AWS (Amazon) | not provided | not provided | - |
| Cloud one | AS49063 | ten | 7 |

| RTCOM | AS8342 | thirty | four |
Cloudscap and ActiveCloud has its AS, but also tied to Dataline, since for them it is the only operator.
To judge the honesty of the answers of companies to judge you, the pros and cons for it were not placed. But such an explicit and implicit dependence on a single operator is not a positive factor.

Of those who answered, the highest price tag for drives (in this case, SSD) from provider Cloud4y, 71 rubles, to the question why it is so expensive, was justified by providing SSD based on NetApp, and there it is expensive. At the same time, the cost of other drives on Cloud4y is generally lower than others.
Perhaps it will be interesting to someone: about 40% of the polled operators supply Microsoft licenses without VAT, which is a problem for most Russian companies that work with VAT and expect to receive VAT deductions. Thus, the customer is deprived of the opportunity to receive VAT deduction.

The financial side of the issue
I left the most interesting for dessert. Not all companies were able to offer a full package of services, therefore, apart from the final cost of services, I indicated in the comments which services are not provided / provided.
In addition, I drew attention to the currency specified in the KP (not all turned out to be rubles), and also included VAT or not. And one more important moment - I indicated one-time payments, which the company requires for installation services, organization of snapshots, setting up services and infrastructure, etc.

Summarizing
I note that some points may be subjective, I tried to be as objective as possible.
To make the assessment of the survey participants as transparent and objective as possible, I used the following point system:
| Evaluation | Points |
| + | one |
| + - | 0.5 |
| - | -one |
The total number of points is determined by summation. The cost of services has not been evaluated, but is present for review in the final table.
As a result of summing up all the points, the top 5 leaders were:
Cloud4y
Softline
IT-Grad
Cloud One
Activecloud For the
second time in a row, Cloud4y, Softline and Activecloud took the lead.
Below is a summary table of the TOP-5 leaders with an indication of the number of points and the total cost of services, taking into account the maximum discount:
| Company | Points | Cost of including VAT with maximum rub discount |
| Cloud4Y | 33.5 | 128310 |
| Softline | 33 | 145387 |
| IT Grad | 30.5 | 160444 |
| Cloud one | thirty | 163475 |
| Activecloud | 29 | 160984 |
The total cost, which is listed in the table is different from the base, I had to put a lot of effort to break through the maximum discount for each operator, although it was not easy and required more than one iteration.
