La réduction de la taille des systèmes Cloud pour baisser les factures

Les coûts du Cloud : préoccupation #1 des CIO   La réduction de la taille des systèmes - la bonne option Un rapport récent de Flexera (fin 2022) indique, et pour la 7ème  année consécutive, que l'optimisation de l'utilisation du Cloud demeure le principal sujet de préoccupation des CIO. Et pourtant, relativement peu d’entreprises avancent sur de véritables projets d’optimisation continu. Ce qui pourtant paraît assez évident. 1.     La croissance des coûts dans le Cloud, un constat partagé : Une enquête du Gartner de 2022, indique que les entreprises prévoient une augmentation de 29 % des dépenses liées au Cloud en 2023 versus année en cours.       Cette même étude indique que les coûts de 2023 seront supérieurs de 12 % aux coûts prévus. Objectivement, personne ne pourra contester que les coûts de Cloud ressemblent à une fuite en avant. Les projets sont toujours plus nombreux, et ils sur-consomment la donnée. Netflix dé...

Lower Cloud costs by reducing the size of systems

  Cloud  costs : #1 concern for CIOs   Downsizing systems – the right option A recent report from Flexera (end of 2022) indicates, and for the 7th   consecutive year, that  optimizing the use of the Cloud remains the main subject of concern for CIOs.  And yet, relatively few companies are moving forward with real continuous optimization projects.  Which, however, seems quite obvious. 1.       The growth of costs in the Cloud, a shared observation: A 2022 Gartner survey indicates that companies expect a 29% increase in Cloud spending in 2023 compared to the current year.       This same study indicates that 2023 costs will be 12% higher than planned costs. Objectively, no one can dispute that Cloud costs look like a headlong rush.  There are always more projects, and they over-consume data. For example, Netflix spends nearly $10 million per month to store/process its data on AWS.    Some of our...

The Cloud, an accelerator of "data deluge", Are there any solutions?

    The Cloud, an accelerator   of  "data deluge",  Are there any   solutions?  According to a 2022 Salesforce global survey, 33% of CIOs said they were unable to generate value-added insights from their data, and 30% said they were simply overwhelmed by the volume of data produced within the company….   Businesses are ingesting more data than ever before largely thanks to the infinite scalability of the Cloud. The idea is to exploit them to obtain new “business insights”, to personalize experiences, or to meet regulatory requirements, the best known of which is the GDPR.  Connected objects are also a fantastic accelerator for data generation.   But in many cases, these volumes end up being counterproductive, “drowning” truly useful data in terabytes of cold, obsolete, redundant data. IT teams end up spending most of their time introspecting systems to try to master their assets, and IT is no longer doing anything but maintaini...

FinOps: Reduce Cloud Costs by Removing "Dead Branches"!

    FinOps : Reduce Cloud Costs by Removing "Dead Branches"!   Data lineage and analysis of the uses of information to calculate the cost of "living branches" and "dead branches". For simple and cheaper cloud systems.      Intro  Cloud costs, a real subject!   ____________________________________     OWe are not going to dwell on the adoption of the Cloud, but we will note that 50% of companies have 100% of their infrastructure in the Cloud (Rackspace Technology 2022, in association with Google Cloud), and the others are thinking about it seriously: end of infrastructure to manage, infinite scalability, often lower costs, etc. The strengths of the Cloud are also its limits: the systems are ultra-scalable, and the teams have a field day for the greatest benefit of the business. It is also unfortunately the realm of informational inflation that is not always justified, with strong impacts: 7 out of 10 companies do not know exactly what the...
