If you’re considering a cloud DBMS, it’s time to rethink what you know about database pricing. Compared to on-premises, cloud pricing is based on completely synthetic metrics and can vary widely between vendors. The Gartner® report, How to Understand Cloud DBMS Pricing Models, helps you choose the right cloud database platform to meet your technology needs and manage your costs both immediately and in the future.
According to Gartner, “You may find that a cloud database that offers multiple pricing models, or a flexible mix of pricing options, may be preferable over the long run.”1
The report explains how to:
- Improve overall cost-efficiency by aligning pricing models to your workloads
- Investigate complex pricing models based on bounded, burst, or blended options
- Ensure you are always using the right pricing model as your needs change over time
