Infrastructure

Cloud and On-Premise

Blobb is not a cloud vendor and does not assume the answer is cloud. The work compares cloud, owned, hybrid, and multi-datacenter options on cost and operational reality.

When businesses engage Blobb for this

  • The infrastructure bill grows faster than usage or revenue
  • Commitments and discounts hide the system’s real unit cost
  • A migration was proposed before the current estate was measured
  • Repatriation is discussed as a slogan rather than a commercial model

What the work involves

Blobb models current cost, future load, purchasing commitments, and operational effort. Cloud and on-premise options are compared on the same time horizon. Migration is planned in either direction, including hybrid and multi-datacenter designs. Recommendations are independent because Blobb holds no vendor margin.

What you get

  • A normalized infrastructure cost model
  • Break-even points for credible options
  • A commitment and lock-in review
  • A migration or repatriation sequence
  • Operating requirements for the target model

How it is engaged

Before scoping a migration, Blobb usually recommends reviewing the current estate and the commercial assumptions behind it. This can be a full architecture audit or a focused review of the infrastructure decision.
