Pepperdata Debuts Free Big Data Cloud Migration Cost Assessment

The assessment helps identify big data best candidate workloads moving to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or IBM Cloud.

Big data application performance management company Pepperdata has rolled out its new Big Data Cloud Migration Cost Assessment for enterprises seeking to migrate their big data to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or IBM Cloud.

This metrics-based assessment analyzes workloads and SLAs to guide company decisions on how to conduct migrations while reducing costs and maintaining SLA’s.

Enterprises looking at hybrid cloud strategies often estimate the cost of moving entire cluster. Pepperdata CEO Ash Munshi recommends a different approach. “It’s better to identify specific workloads that can be moved to take full advantage of the pricing and elasticity of the cloud,” he says. His company collects and analyzes detailed, granular resource metrics to accurately identify optimal workloads for cloud migration and maintain SLAs.

Strategies for Cost-Effective Cloud Migration

The Pepperdata Big Data Cloud Migration Cost Assessment gives enterprises and organizations a complete understanding of their storage, network and computer needs to run their deployments in the hybrid cloud.

The assessment analyzes memory, I/O, and CPU every five seconds for each task. It maps on-premises workloads to optimal static and on-demand instances on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. It also calculates the cloud CPU and memory required to maintain the same performance and SLAs as on-site infrastructure provides. Its other key features include:

• Automatically analyzing every workload in the cluster to accurately determine their projected cloud costs
• Calculating cost projections and instance recommendations for workloads, queues, jobs, and users
• Mapping workloads to various instance types including static and on-demand
• Comparing AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud
