- Slide 5: Why we chose AWS over ____________________________ other grids AWS is the most complete cloud solution available • 2006 - Started researching use of cloud compute to solve archive problem. • Sun Grid was too expensive, required Solaris. $1 Gb, $1 CPU hour. • S3 was really appealing, but compute component wasn't available in 2006. • 2007 - EC2 announced. With S3 a powerful combination in the cloud. • Sonian needs storage and compute in the same data center. • Great brand connotation with “Amazon”.
- Slide 6: SaaS business model ____________________________ scales with costs AWS \"pay as you go\" benefits Sonian and our customer • Infrastructure costs scale directly with usage. • Traditional data center \"co-location\" requires expensive upfront build out, \"waterfall\" upgrades when capacity needs to increase. • With cloud, infrastructure costs are predictable & linear. • First time a SaaS business can create a software stack that is completely self-aware of it's own operating costs.
