Cloud Computing Performance: Find Your Tier
Monday, August 24, 2009 by Brian Wolff
While cloud computing can offer significant savings, it’s important to know exactly what you’re paying for and what kind of environment you’re receiving for that money, specifically in terms of performance.  Do you know the quality of the parts that are in your environment and what quality tier those fall in?  How high is your SLA?  Is it too high? 

If you need a production environment, you most likely want to have higher end gear with a higher performance Service Level Agreement, up there around 99.99%. But if you just need a test and development environment, why would you pay for the higher SLA and higher-end gear?  It just doesn’t make sense. 

The enterprise client needs are much different from the needs of a single developer, and then there are others, like the SMB who fall in the middle in terms of environment needs.  This is exactly why BlueLock is launching a new suite of offerings next week that addresses all levels of cloud hosting needs – from the developer to the enterprise.  The three-tiered system, The BlueLock Cloud Suite, will provide low, mid and high end capabilities with just the right SLA, gear and price tag to address a spectrum of IT needs. 

More details on the BlueLock Cloud Suite to come...
