I found this post Cloud Computing Savings - Real or Imaginary? from Balakrishna Narasimhan, CIO's Guide to On-Demand blog, very usefull to understand and where we are going with all the cloud stuf.

If we think around these service categories:

  • Software as a Service
  • Platform as a Service
  • Infraestructure as a Service
What about SaaS and Paas cost savings

We can find the greatest cost-saving at higher levels of functionality.

  • "At the lowest level, infrastructure-as-a-service is purely computational power for rent"....." Therefore, the only savings are those that come from the delta between how efficient your datacenters (are)"
  • "It's at the next level, Platform as a Service, and beyond, that we start to see significant savings."..."Within our 150+ customers, we see savings of over 30% on operating costs and 2-3x improvements in time-to-market when building on cloud platforms."
  • "At the highest level of the stack, the benefits get multiplied further, since you get all the benefits of PaaS, plus you get freed from 22% maintenance and costly (to implement) upgrades every 3-5 years."
