TCO and pricing explanation

We show infrastructure cost not as a single price, but as an ownership model: resources, operations, SLA, backup, migration and growth reserve.

CAPEX/OPEX SLA/SLO backup growth reserve

Which search requests this page answers

We cover commercial and engineering scenarios for server infrastructure choice: TCO, checklist, migration, SLA/SLO, RPO/RTO and ownership.

What forms the TCO

We count not just the server, but operations: SLA/SLO, backup, monitoring, migration, security baseline and workload growth.

What forms the TCO

CAPEX/OPEX

Monthly budget, one-time launch work, migration effort and support model.

What forms the TCO

SLA/SLO model

Availability targets, monitoring, incident response and maintenance windows.

Backup and DR

Backup window, retention, restore test, RPO/RTO and disaster recovery scenario.

Security baseline

VPN, firewall, DDoS, logging, SIEM and access policy cost drivers.

What we compare before choosing a model

TCO shows where Dedicated is better, where IaaS fits, and where PaaS/SaaS or colocation is more reasonable.

What we compare before choosing a model

Dedicated vs IaaS

Isolation and predictable performance versus flexible launch and scaling.

What we compare before choosing a model

PaaS/SaaS vs self-managed

Less operational burden versus lower control over runtime and release process.

FAQ

Why is TCO better than a simple server price?

A simple price misses operations, backup, migration, security baseline, SLA/SLO and growth reserve. TCO keeps these cost drivers visible.
