Cloud Pricing for ERP Hosting and Migration
What does it cost to move to the cloud? At ERP Suites, we understand the demands on your network and data. Our ERP cloud services offer real-time data access anytime, anywhere.
You're in control with public, private, or hybrid cloud solutions tailored to your needs. Be aware that cloud pricing varies based on specific needs and usage, and providers charge for all active resources, from disk space to data processing.
Key Factors in ERP Cloud Pricing
Many factors influence the cost of your cloud hosting including these 6 factors below.
JD Edwards Servers
A comprehensive inventory of servers, CPUs, memory, and disk space is crucial for accurate cost estimation. Optimizing resource utilization by eliminating unused assets can reduce cloud expenses.
Network Requirements
Network design, including VPNs, SD-WANs, and dedicated connections, significantly impacts cloud costs. Data transfer fees (ingress and egress) are additional factors to consider.
Disaster Recovery
Your choice of replication, backup, servers that need to be in the DR plan, and recovery speeds (RTO and RPO) will directly affect your cloud costs.
Licensing
Software licensing, including operating systems, databases, and applications, will impact cloud costs. Consider compatibility, transferability, licensing models, and vendor terms.
3rd Party Servers
Third-party servers, such as those for reporting, scanning, eCommerce, or data warehousing, may need to reside on the same network as JD Edwards servers.
Hosting Location
Public clouds, like OCI and AWS, offer scalability with more complex options, while private clouds offer control and predictable costs.

What About the Cost of Migration?
The migration project costs are treated as a separate consideration from the monthly cloud operating costs, with key factors being the migration approach and the timeline for completion.
There is no easy way to provide a per-server estimate for the migration project costs, as they depend heavily on the specific applications and requirements. ERP Suites has extensive experience with these types of migrations and can walk you though the details to provide an accurate estimate.
Lift and Shift
Lift-and-shift migrations are the simplest and lowest cost approach, as they involve just moving the VMs to the cloud with minimal changes.
Move and Improve
Upgrading applications and operating systems during the migration will add more cost and time to the project, as it involves more testing and changes.
