Public Cloud vs Re-patriated Cloud

Re-patriation from the Public Cloud to Local, Co-located, or Dedicated Servers can seem like a daunting task for any enterprise or small company, but it's more often than not a justifiable investment to reduce operational costs and external provider dependencies.

Many companies spend thousands, if not hundreds of thousands or millions of Euros in the Public Cloud, instead of utilizing these resources more effectively and efficiently to expand their IT department, upgrade performance, automatize in-house processes, and enhance cyber-security, amongst many other important flanks of improvement.

A company that spends an average of 50.000 € per month on the public cloud (Amazon's AWS, Microsoft's Azure, or Google's GCP), can repatriate its operational loads to a private cloud by renting 3 to 5 dedicated servers or purchasing them through leasing at a monthly cost ranging from 1.200 € to about 4.000 € .

Optionally you can use your own data center or rent space in one (co-location), with an approximate average placement cost of 300 € per month and a technical support and monitoring cost of 1.500 € per month with Cloudship, for a total of between 9.960 € and 19.100 € per month, savings between 5-10 times your current Cloud monthly cost.

With a larger budget scale in mind, a company that spends an average of 600.000 € per month on the public cloud can repatriate these operational loads and even artificial intelligence or Big-Data loads to a private cloud.

By renting 3 to 5 dedicated servers or purchasing them through leasing at a monthly cost from 12.000 € to 28.000 €, having the option to use your own data center (on-premises) or rent space in one (co-location), as mentioned before, having a placement cost of 300 € per month and a technical support and monitoring cost of 4.000 € per month with Cloudship, you may have an approximate monthly cost of between 51.060 € and 95.100 € per month, saving up to 20 times your current monthly investment.
