How does Hyve’s Enterprise Cloud
compare with public clouds in terms of
costings, migration, and support?
A lot of public clouds out there like
Azure, AWS, Google,
run a pay–as you–go mode.
Now, the best analogy for this would be
if you take all of your techies out for the night
and you put your credit card behind the bar,
tell them "order what you want".
You’ve got no idea to the size of the bill
you’re going to come back to.
This is a lot like running a public cloud.
Your techies are there,
they're spinning up VMs,
there’s data in, data out.
You’ve got no idea to the size of your monthly invoice.
Now, some of the public clouds out there,
they’ve put these tools in place to help your budget,
you can put limits on to how much you spend.
The problem with that is if,
at the middle of the month you’ve reached your limit,
you’re going to go over budget.
For example, one public cloud,
just their pricing document alone was 22 pages.
This document tells you how they charge you.
22 pages long.
Hyve’s Enterprise Cloud is different.
We will work with you
and understand what it is you want to achieve.
Our systems architects
will get involved right at the early stages
so they can map out a cloud that is perfect
for you now, and scalable for the future.
But you’ll be safe in the knowledge knowing
that you’ve got one price on that invoice once a month.
The invoice that you get from Hyve will include
the management layer.
We looked a lot of public clouds out there,
especially on the pay-as-you-go model,
and they're unsupported.
If you do want support
it’s an additional fee on top,
and for bigger customers,
we actually find that their employing people
to manage their cloud for you.
Hyve’s Enterprise Cloud is fully managed by Hyve.
You have complete control,
but we will manage the solution for you.
This cuts down costs,
but more importantly, Hyve become
an extension of your IT department.
We’re available 24/7, you can call us when you need.
We’re there to help.
So,
you’ve decided what public cloud you’re going to use.
You’ve specced up the system
that you need.
You’ve gone through the swathes
of information and the pricing calculator
to try and understand what your monthly bill will be.
You then have to migrate the system yourself.
If halfway through the migration
your compute power tops out,
you’re going to have to spend more.
Hyve’s support team
will carry out the migration for you.
We listen, we understand what needs to go where,
and we migrate your system.
We give it back to you when you’re ready to go and live.
If you got any questions about Hyve’s Enterprise Cloud
or moving from the public cloud,
