Description
An all-inclusive analysis of costs for on-premises and public cloud-based solutions to handle the bulk of HEP computing requirements shows that dedicated on-premises deployments are still the most cost-effective. Since the advent of public cloud services, the HEP community has engaged in multiple proofs of concept to study the technical viability of using cloud resources; however, the financial viability of using cloud resources for HEP computing and storage is of greater importance. We present the results of a study comparing the cost of providing computing resources ina public cloud and a comprehensive estimate for the cost of an on-premises solution for HEP computing. Like previous studies, the fundamental conclusion is that for the bulk of HEP computing needs, on premises is significantly more cost effective than public clouds.
