Hi Atlassian Community,
Hope this is the right location to ask my question :)
We have a growing Confluence Server platform (2000 users, 180 GB) and we are now thinking of changing our subscription for a DataCenter version (more security and availability features) self-hosted on public cloud (AWS / Azure).
Any feedback on such a scenario? Did someone already try the journey? An idea of the cost of such a change?
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Laura
Thanks a lot for this complete answer :) It answers a lot of our questions. Do you know where I could find more info about the pricing part of the story (except the Data Center cost I mean)?
Thanks again for your insights,
Laura
There's not a lot I can tell you about procing I'm afraid.
Yes, you can drop the maintenance cost of your current server licence, and instead pay for the Data Centre version (may be worth getting in touch with Atlassian or a partner about this - if, for example, you bought or renewed server in June, and you go to DC in August, you may be able to get the 9 months of server maintenance offset against your first DC bill)
The rest of the costs are in two parts:
I do not know your level of ability, or desire to use your people's time, to do this, so my next suggestion is going to be very wide ranging: You may get some value out of engaging an Atlassian parter for this project.
Obvious advert here of course - I work for one such partner.
Some of us do migrations for people a lot, and at varying levels. I did one the Thursday just gone, have another one next week, and my squad are currently planning and testing another eight for various clients.
Our scale of involvement on these ten is very varied.
Those are extreme cases and the second one has not quite happened in real life - the client was happy with the review of what they had, but asked us to have someone "on call" for their migration window as well.
Most partners will be happy to help you wherever they are on the scale I've just burbled about.
