The elastic nature of the cloud is a double-edged sword that promises incredible business agility but also requires new ways of analyzing the cost/benefit ratio. Many businesses struggle to quantify cloud spend due to its on-demand, ephemeral nature—which is, unsurprisingly, not the most compatible with traditional budgets and forecast planning processes.

So how do you quantify the cost of cloud infrastructure? Through the use of cloud unit economics.

 

In this white paper, discover how you can:

• Ensure cloud spending is directly correlated to business value

• Track cloud account costs to determine the average cloud cost per customer

• Leverage metrics and tracing data from a running application for unit cost calculations

• Understand how cloud costs change with customer volume

• Allocate shared costs to build a more accurate view of cost per customer
