Understanding the TCO benefits of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

Cloud providers have different strengths and weaknesses and operate in different ways, which makes a singular metric such as total cost of ownership (TCO) difficult to apply.

Hence, Omdia recommends a multi-level approach to develop a TCO assessment, which characterizes the calculation as a combination of business benefit, risk factor, cost to implement, and operational cost savings.

The three attributes identified in Omdia's TCO model are:

  • Matching resources to the workload to achieve optimum price/performance and efficiency is a key comparative metric.
  • Egress charges for data are an unseen contributor to TCO.
  • Consistent global pricing makes the financing of cloud more straightforward for organizations.
