ShopForCloud launch


Today, we're very excited to announce the launch of ShopForCloud.com

The Problem
Allow us to describe the scenario:
You want to deploy business applications onto the cloud. You want to know how much it will cost over time as you become more popular and your usage increases. How do you forecast these costs?

The pay-as-you-go pricing models used in cloud computing, combined with the thousands of prices available from many cloud providers worldwide creates a complex problem. It can take days to calculate the costs of deploying large system on the cloud.

The Solution
We’ve created ShopForCloud.com (rebranded to PlanForCloud.com following our acquisition) to solve this problem.
1. Use our tool to describe your requirements of a cloud.
2. A detailed cost report is generated by running your requirements through our simulation engine.
3. This enables you to get reports for different deployment options and growth patterns to do what-if analysis which enables you to make the right decision for your cloud infrastructure.

Start-ups and small businesses are aware of the increasing popularity of cloud computing and most are considering using the cloud. IT consultancies are aware that cloud computing sells and want to help their clients move their system onto the cloud. All of these companies can use ShopForCloud to get cost estimates and forecasts of putting systems on the cloud.
