Agility and Cost Savings: Achieving the IT “X Factor
1. Agility & Cost Savings
Achieving the ‘X-Factor’
Yuri Misnik
Head of Solutions Architecture UK and IR

2. AWS Customers Are Realizing Long Term Benefits
Saved $34M on
SmartHub app
10’s of millions of $
saved with first 12
apps migrated to AWS
50%+
reduction in
server costs
decreased IT
operating costs
by 75%
3. Analysts have proven out the results
“We estimate that for
every dollar spent on
AWS, there is at least $34 NOT spent on
traditional I/T”
Baird Equity Research
In early 2012, AWS commissioned IDC to interview 11 organizations that deployed applications on AWS.

Free Tier
Get Started on AWS
with free usage & no
commitment
For POCs and getting
started

capacity by the hour
with no long-term
commitments
For spiky workloads,
or to define needs
Reserved
Spot
Make a low, one-time
payment and receive
a significant discount
on the hourly charge
Bid for unused
capacity, charged at a
Spot Price which
fluctuates based on
supply and demand

Think 3-5 year time frame
Use Heavy Utilization Reserved Instances
for apples to apples comparisons
HW maintenance starts at 10%
Administration
Don’t forget your VM maintenance costs
25. Servers
Buying fixed ISP bandwidth means waste
Storage
Network
Administration costs and hardware costs for your
network
Environment
More bandwidth gets less expensive in AWS
Administration
Redundancy for free: AWS aggregates bandwidth
from multiple Telco providers
28. When calculating TCO…
#1 Start with a use case or an application – compare apples to apples, capacity
utilization, networking, availability, peak to average, etc.
#2 Take all the costs into consideration
(Don’t forget administration, maintenance and redundancy costs)
#3 Use Updated Pricing (compute, storage and bandwidth)
Price cuts, Tiered Pricing and Volume Discounts
#4 Use variable capacity & reserved instances where they fit the business needs
#5 Intangible Costs – Take a closer look at what is built in with AWS – security,
elasticity, innovation, flexibility
