Slide 2 : DigitalOcean's IaaS TCO Breakdown

Our DigitalOcean IaaS TCO analysis has been conducted for three years and shows the
following:

• Year 1: Covers initial setup (server instance, storage, bandwidth


$150 .

• Year 2: For maintenance, backups, and security updates.


$100

• Year 3: For ongoing support and scaling needs.


$100

Total 3-Year Approximately $350


Cost:

Optimal performance can be guaranteed by fully customizing and controlling the student portal with this cost-
effective approach.

Slide 3 :The IaaS TCO Breakdown for DigitalOcean

Digital Ocean IaaS TCO analysis conducted over three years reveals the following:

In Year Slide 3:
Alternative TCO Analysis (SaaS Option), $150 is spent on the initial setup, which includes server instance, storage,
and bandwidth.

For comparison, our SaaS option is estimated at:


• Year 1: Subscription fee with add‑on services.
$200

• Year 2: Consistent recurring cost.


$200

• Year 3: Maintained service fee.


$200

3‑Year
Total Cost Approximately $600

The Solution

Direct technical oversight can be reduced by using SaaS, but it comes with higher costs and limited customization
options.

This comparison shows that the IaaS solution not only saves money but also meets our specific configuration
needs more effectively.
