 USD1 = MYR3.1

 Yourequire your instance on 24x7, and
you utilize Amazons Light utilization
reserved instances (upfront payment of
about USD70-USD150)

 You absolutely need support from Amazon


Light CPU Light Memory
• Windows Server 2008
• Amazon Premium Support (Silver)
• 737GB of Bandwidth in Outward Data Transfer
• Unlimited Bandwidth in inward Data Transfer

Mid Range CPU + Mid Range Memory
• Windows Server 2008
• Amazon Premium Support (Silver)
• 477GB of Bandwidth in Outward Data Transfer


 Neglect Amazons Premium support and
• Save USD100/month; or
• Add another 530GB of data transfer; or
• Upgrade your instance to m1.large
 (4 CPU | 7.5GB RAM | 850GB HDD)

 Does Maxis have support?


Light CPU Light Memory
• Windows 2008 Server
• Rackspace ‘Fanatical Support’

 Does Maxis Charge for Outward Data
Traffic?

 Does Maxis Charge for 24x7 Support?

 Anythingother than a double no… don’t
even look at Maxis


 How does Maxis Uptime compare?


 Way to early to gauge Maxis offering,
particularly since a lot of questions are left
unanswered.
 The press release seem to point to
features not readily available on the
website
 Even then, initial findings suggest Maxis is
more expensive than AWS and
RackSpace. Stay away till there’s more
clarity

 Too late in the game
 Too expensive for my taste
 Toorestrictive (one OS and just 3 machine
types)
 Just not good enough
 Unlimited bandwidth (or higher speeds) may
help
