A multinational corporation is exploring the transition to cloud services and seeks to benefit from reduced costs due to provider scaling. As an advisor, how would you describe the effect of scaling on cost advantages offered by a major cloud service provider?
You selected this option
As the cloud service provider expands, operational costs per customer rise due to the additional infrastructure required, which in turn elevates service pricing.
You selected this option
The service provider can decrease the cost per service unit for clients due to the fixed costs being spread over an increased output, leading to overall reduced service charges.
You selected this option
When a provider scales up its services, the operational costs diminish to the extent that the cloud services are provided to the clients at no charge.
You selected this option
Scaling enables the provider to solely utilize renewable energy sources, thus bringing down the operational expenditures and consequently the cost of services.
The term 'economies of scale' defines the cost advantage realized by businesses as they grow and output expands, resulting in lower per-unit costs. A cloud service provider can achieve this by sharing the costs of their infrastructure across an extensive customer base, continuously optimizing their data centers, and improving operational efficiencies. These savings can then be passed along to customers, leading to more affordable service offerings compared to maintaining individual, costly on-premises data centers.
