Cloud ROI Calculators
The applications, research, and tools of the cloud and related infrastructure components are key elements in determining which cloud solution (or combination of solutions) is right for your business. Important ROI calculations include build-versus-buy models as well as determining the amount of storage that will be consumed based on retention policies.
Below are a few calculators to assist you in quantifying the return on investment (ROI) of Cloud Migration.

Data & Applications: Cloud Solutions
Similar to choosing from an internet provider that doesn’t give any guarantees on the speed or quality of data (versus internet services like fiber that come with a service level agreement or SLA), businesses that are transforming digitally can choose between public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, or multi-cloud solutions to host their data and applications.
A private cloud connection provides on-demand, configurable pools of shared computing resources within a public cloud environment, providing a certain level of isolation between the different organizations using the resources; in this environment, the customer is responsible for maintaining their own servers and infrastructure.
A public cloud solution, on the other hand, is where an independent, third-party provider, owns and maintains shared compute resources that customers can access over the internet (think Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), etc.)
The type of infrastructure businesses usually evaluate when they migrate to the cloud are either a hybrid-cloud or a multi-cloud environment. A hybrid-cloud solution allows an organization to orchestrate workloads across both an on-premise environment and a cloud environment or both a public and a private cloud environment. The combination of these two environments essentially becomes an extension of each other allowing greater flexibility as business needs change.
A multi-cloud solution, on the other hand, uses more than one cloud platform; each platform provides a specific application or service and can be comprised of public, private, and edge clouds. Unlike a hybrid environment in which the different platforms are an extension of each other, a multi-cloud environment has different clouds that provide different, separate services or applications.
