Cloud Computing: Case Studies and Total Cost of Ownership

Total Cost of Ownership: A Differentiated Approach

The purpose of this paper is to develop a differentiated approach to the cost management tool, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Existing TCO related literature has investigated the tool from a focal buyer perspective and has consequently neglected to study TCO from an inter-organisational perspective. Based on empirical data, this paper develops a differentiated approach to the use of TCO consist...

Total Cost of Solid State Storage Ownership

Simultaneous Allocation Of Reliability & Redundancy Using Minimum Total Cost Of Ownership Approach

This paper addresses the mixed integer reliability redundancy allocation problems to determine simultaneous allocation of optimal reliability and redundancy level of components based on three objective goals. System engineering principles suggest that the best design is the design that maximizes the system operational effectiveness and at the same time minimizes the total cost of ownership (TCO...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Environmental Modelling Using Cloud Computing Tools: Case Studies and Examples

Cloud computing represents an emerging computing paradigm, which offers delivering a variety of computing services in a way that has not been experienced previously. In order to develop advanced simulations, environmental modelling must be adapted to this more powerful and efficient computing tool. Traditional model calculations are taken into the sphere of interconnected data and more accessib...
