110. What are the main cost factors of cloud based data center?
Costs in a Cloud based data center are different from a traditional data center. Main cost factors of cloud based data center are as follows:
I. Labor cost : We need skilled staff that can work with the cloud-based datacenter that we have selected for our operation. Since
cloud is not a very old technology, it may get difficult to get the right skill people for handling cloud based datacenter.
II. Power cost : In some cloud operations, power costs are borne by the client. Since it is a variable cost, it can increase with the
increase in scale and usage.
III. Computing cost : The biggest cost in Cloud environment is the cost that we pay to Cloud provider for giving us computing
resources. This cost is much higher compared to the labor or power costs.
