Supporting Student Notes:
On-demand consumption model lowers overall costs. Reduces management complexity. Increases resource utilization. Decreases
sometimes hidden cost of overall resource requirements across a collaboration implementation.
Traditional on-premises deployment has some disadvantages:
• Significant upfront investments – initial CAPEX and IT costs are difficult to predict
• Moving forward – difficult-to-predict incremental CAPEX requirements, OPEX, and IT costs
• Overprovisioning to ensure capacity during peak periods often results in unused or spare capacity – which has a cost
• And uncertain future growth and market conditions make it difficult to plan for future requirements
