English Abstract
Cloud computing is one of the important inventions that have occurred in our life for providing solutions in the field of information technology (IT) through the Internet.
Also it enables users to access applications and their own resources using a web browser, which reduces the cost of software, hardware and the maintenance costs.
However provide datacenters with thousands of servers that costs a large of money, therefore some companies moved to cloud computing.
Identifying the parameters that influence the software and hardware costs, and the calculation of the traditional computing costs, as compared to that of the cloud computing are not simple problems.
As such, this study comes as an attempt to identify the main parameters that may affect the costs of both the traditional and cloud computing paradigms, it proposes a cost break-even model to decide when to use the cloud or traditional.
For the purpose of this study, we carried out simulation of certain experiments, to identify the influence degree of a number of parameters on the total cost of each of the traditional computing and cloud computing.
This was made through forming many equations for each of the two paradigms; these equations can be used in any simulation model and support decision makers to analyze the cost for both paradigms.
Experiments and simulation were carried out to obtain the break-even point in different cases.
Through study and analysis, it was found in all cases that the cost of the software and hardware in the cloud computing is less than that of the traditional computing; and that the break-even point is obtained in case of software as a service only provided when the number of the users is small.
As well as, the study attempted to identify the parameters that affect the cost of both the traditional and cloud computing paradigms.
