No matter whether you run a small, medium or large business, we\u2019re confident that you\u2019ll find this comparison useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve chosen this setup to show the cost of a Cloud server for small businesses, possibly a startup setting up its infrastructure to serve its first customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This represents a great starting point that can scale with the company as it grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This setup includes a load balancing service, a managed database, 100GB of block storage, two worker nodes and standby nodes with a seven-day backup for block storage to ensure 100% uptime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1 includes 1TB of outgoing traffic and uses the standard default IOPS on block storage across AWS and Azure. Option 2, meanwhile, includes 5TB of outgoing traffic across all platforms and factors in block storage tiers comparable to UpCloud\u2019s proprietary MaxIOPs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve chosen this setup for a medium-sized company serving a number of customers through an online application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This example infrastructure again includes a managed load balancing service for up to 10 TB of traffic per month, a managed database with 500 GB of block storage and eight worker nodes with seven-day backup for block storage and standby nodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1 includes 5TB of outgoing traffic and uses the standard default IOPS on block storage across AWS and Azure. Option 2, meanwhile, includes 15TB of outgoing traffic across all platforms and factors in block storage tiers comparable to UpCloud\u2019s proprietary MaxIOPs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve chosen this setup for a large business serving its customers through an online application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time we\u2019ve again included a managed load balancing service for up to 10TB of traffic per month, a managed database with 1TB of block storage and 24 worker nodes with seven-day backup for block storage and standby nodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1 includes 15TB of outgoing traffic and uses the standard default IOPS on block storage across AWS and Azure. Option 2, meanwhile, includes 30TB of outgoing traffic across all platforms and factors in block storage tiers comparable to UpCloud\u2019s proprietary MaxIOPs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra large<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is an example of a use case for an enterprise-level company that serves a significant number of customers through a data-heavy application every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To illustrate the needs of a company this size, we\u2019ve included two managed load balancing services, both for up to 10TB of traffic per month, two managed databases with 8TB of block storage and 72 worker nodes with seven-day backup for block storage and standby nodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1 includes 30TB of outgoing traffic and uses the standard default IOPS on block storage across AWS and Azure. Option 2, meanwhile, includes 60TB of outgoing traffic across all platforms and factors in block storage tiers comparable to UpCloud\u2019s proprietary MaxIOPs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
