From pay-per-use to pay-per-abuse

Pay-per-use rocks!
I'm sure we all are already familiar with the on-demand & pay-per-use model as applied to IT. Is has been of tremendous help while executing your IT strategy & has saved you in $1000s by now. No new hardware to be commissioned or salvaged, compute & storage is being ordered as we order pizza for lunch. You select a topping, crust, flavor & boom its ready within few seconds.

This new age consumption model has given choice & power directly in hands of everyone with-in your business & depending on long request/approval cycles are monsters in the past now.

On the hind-side it has bought in a new issue in terms of  resources being used & paid on an hourly basis & is leading towards a Pay-per-abuse issue. Recently had a conversation with few key IT decision makers & the first & foremost point they wanted to discuss was to "How to curtail & control" resources abuse.

Remember you are paying by hour & if your team is not proactive enough you could end up paying good amount of your budget which could have been optimally used elsewhere. With high end compute available in seconds its easy to spring up as many virtual resources.

Sure you will get details of it at the end of month but that's too late already.

Glad to introduce Attribo Cloud Insights to you & you are welcome to see by yourself if it applies to your Cloud IT.
