Analyze, Projected Annual Cloud Costs
This dashboard serves as the initial landing page for the "Analyze" section of the Cloudamize platform. It provides a concise summary of a completed cloud assessment, providing a high-level overview of the on-premise or existing infrastructure and a top-line projection of the annual cost to migrate to a specific cloud provider.
Infrastructure Summary
Here at a glance, you can see the summary of the assessed infrastructure's key metrics:
Compute: Displays the total number of compute nodes (servers, VMs) that were discovered and analyzed.
Storage: Shows the total storage capacity, in terabytes, that was assessed.
Network: Indicates the total network traffic analyzed every month, measured in gigabytes.
Assessment: Indicates the status of assessment completion. The delivered assessment will show a
Completedstatus and the delivery date of the assessment.
Projected Annual Cost
The Projected Annual Cost provides the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) outcome of the cloud assessment for the IaaS provider selected.
A contextual note explains the basis of the projection: "The Workload Mapping is the plan that finds IaaS configuration based on your workload usage for the pay-as-you-go pricing model." This means the cost is not a simple lift-and-shift estimate but is dynamically calculated based on actual observed workload performance data.
A horizontal bar chart visualizes the projected annual cost for IaaS migration to AWS, Azure, or GCP.
The chart clearly shows the Cloud Provider, Target Region (e.g., US East, West Europe, etc.), and the Estimated Annual Cost.
Clicking the "View Details" button takes you to the screen with a granular, per-service or per-asset breakdown of the projected costs.
Report Access
Observed Data Report: Located at the bottom right, this button provides access to the full report. This report likely contains the raw performance data, utilization metrics, and detailed assumptions that were used to generate the cost projection.
Comparison Report: The Comparison Report is a key feature that provides a detailed, side-by-side analysis of projected annual costs across major cloud providers. It acts as a critical tool for IT and financial stakeholders to make informed, data-driven decisions on cloud migration strategy.
The Analyze Landing Page is designed to provide a clear and immediate understanding of the assessment's findings, facilitating initial conversations and decisions about cloud migration strategy and cost. It is a stepping stone to the more detailed analytical views available within the Cloudamize platform.
