MobileForce's CLIPPER(TM) Service has now released a Simple Fee Calculator for computing your App Engine Deployment's Likely Monthly Bill. This is the only calculator you would need to price out the AppEngine instances pricing along with associated services. The CLIPPER(TM) Simple Fee Calculator for Google Cloud AppEngine services captures pricing inputs for 17 components associated with AppEngine in domains such as VM instances, instance storage, general purpose storage, networking services including ingress and egress fees by origin and destination zones, memory Cache Storage and operations, Special Purpose Storage Operations for NoSQL data stores, Search Operations, Indexing, and Indexed Document storage and so much more. The CLIPPER(TM) Simple Fee Calculator also automatically applies the sustained use discount that Google has created in an innovative way (based on instance utilization rates) but is a hard to apply parameter. Additional metrics including the ability to view fees paid to CSPs per unit of the main service you availed helps SMBs normalize and truly compare their payouts across different CSP vendors. Below are a few screenshots of the tool to demonstrate our expertise in cloud computing pricing. A mobile version of the CLIPPER(TM) simple fee calculator will also be available for download on the Android Play Store for only $4.99.

The Google Cloud AppEngine is an
optimal instance package for SMBs that
require a service where almost all
aspects of cloud deployment and
management are outsourced to CSPs,
leaving the SMBs to focus on code
development, testing, and release. The
Google Cloud App Engine is ideal for
moderate sized applications (it cannot
be used for big data, high performance
computing, and other complex
application infrastructure) as Google
2
Cloud has designed the AppEngine
Instances Bundle around processing
power, operations, and storage at
moderate capacities. In return you save
on administration and other
infrastructure operations costs such as
load balancing and protocol forwarding
etc. Also, there are some networking
advantages to App Engine as Google
Cloud makes Virtual IPs available only
for the App Engine VMs but not for their
regular compute engine VMs, where
only static IPs are available. We will be
happy to consult and use our tools to
get you the best-fit solution for your
application needs.

What does the CLIPPERTM Simple Calculator do for an SMB?
MobileForce's CLIPPER
TM
Service has now released a Simple Fee Calculator for computing your App Engine
Deployment's Likely Monthly Bill. This is the only calculator you would need to price out the AppEngine instances
pricing along with associated services. The CLIPPER
TM
Simple Fee Calculator for Google Cloud AppEngine
services captures pricing inputs for 17 components associated with AppEngine in domains such as VM
instances, instance storage, general purpose storage, networking services including ingress and egress fees by
origin and destination zones, memory Cache Storage and operations, Special Purpose Storage Operations for
NoSQL data stores, Search Operations, Indexing, and Indexed Document storage and so much more.
The CLIPPER
TM
Simple Fee Calculator also automatically applies the sustained use discount that Google has
created in an innovative way (based on instance utilization rates) but is a hard to apply parameter. Additional
metrics including the ability to view fees paid to CSPs per unit of the main service you availed helps SMBs
normalize and truly compare their payouts across different CSP vendors. Below are a few screenshots of the tool
to demonstrate our expertise in cloud computing pricing. A mobile version of the tool is also available on the
Android Play Store for only $4.99.
A typical use case (as shown in the CLIPPER
TM
tool's screens above) ends up costing an SMB about $281 per
month in fees. We have assumed about 10 instances running at an average 81% capacity utilization (which got you
our dear customer a 23% sustained use discount from Google Cloud; Google Cloud does not provide volume
discounts), meaning you have used around 5800 instance hours out of a maximum 7200 instance hours during the
month. CLIPPER
TM
tool clearly tells you what resources are included in base amounts and when you have to start
paying for overage. We have also spilt the services offered by CSPs into MAIN SERVICES and ADDITIONAL
SERVICES. MAIN SERVICES are things such as instance types and ADDITIONAL SERVICES are typically
resources and operations need to manage the MAIN SERVICE (in this case the AppEngine pre-configured general
purpose instances). Our tool also tells you what FREE resources Google Cloud Services includes in your base
tiers. As Google Cloud changes its pricing dynamics and pre-configured instance bundles, MobileForce team works
hard to keep the CLIPPER
TM
tool and consulting materials updated. The tool lets you do What-ifs on one-period
snapshot of what it will cost you as you permute among 17 different resource types.
