The promised value — dramatically lower cost, unrivaled flexibility, constant innovation — can be elusive if efforts to capture it do not take the right first steps.

New and unfamiliar challenges arise when analyzing cloud economics:

• A very different set of resources and operating expenses is involved
• Public cloud pricing is menu-driven, making it difficult to assess the full cost of implementation
• Various economic drivers are linked to various application workload
• Cloud economics for the enterprise level isn’t widely available or tested
