I have been looking at the EC2 services and trying to work out if it is cost effective or not and so far it is coming way short.
I am running windows servers and based on the calculator at http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/calc5.html is will cost between $450 and $500 per month per instance to host, plus an extra $50ish for data. I have a rack with 7 servers and a few VMs running other services, so based on those numbers, to move my whole network into the cloud it will cost me over $6,000.00 to move my network into the cloud. So i guess the question is, where do the savings come from? Just from bandwith? I appreciate there is the whole on demand elastic side of it but from a cost-benefit perspective, is it really worth it? Has anyone done the move and actually found cost benefits?
