May 4, 2015 at 14:51Can we talk about the applicability of Moore's law in the field of IaaS
Moore’s law says to increase productivity by 2 times every 2 years while maintaining the cost of devices. This hypothesis does not cease to generate various disputes.
Various experts and journalists convince the audience that soon the law may lose its relevance. On the other hand, more and more new spheres appear on which they are trying to provoke him. It turns out that Moore’s law is a pretty good beacon to carry out various comparisons and analyze the activities of competing companies.
Economist analysts saythat the current level of technological development is borderline, and for a further breakthrough, capital investments in new production capacities are necessary. The costs of refitting factories even for the smallest modifications are now estimated at billions of dollars, and all this cannot but affect the cost of the devices.
Of course, today's business is not so detailed evaluates the effectiveness of individual components. It is important for companies to understand the general expediency of using these or those solutions in the complex. This is an assessment at the data center level.
Other experts are trying to apply Moore’s law to IaaS providers and their pricing. Here direct researchunderwent AWS. As a result, it turned out that the reduction in rental prices for virtual servers was not so significant as to get an explicit link to the model referred to in the Moore's law.
One way or another, you need to understand that the very possibility of using IaaS gives the business a competitive advantage, because the one-time costs of its own hardware are simply not comparable. Only the purchase of equipment will make up a third of the budget, and its maintenance and energy consumption are those costs that few people pay attention to. The cost of DIY solutions continues to grow while renting IaaS resources is getting cheaper.
