Joe, The On Demand system can absolutely be cheaper than maintaining all the servers, licenses, software etc… yourself. If I followed the thread correctly you have an all custom built system. Is this because OOB ITSM isn’t what you need (for example maybe you wrote a CRM system from scratch). It also matters if you are using Windows or Linux, MSSQL or Oracle, and are these multi-tiered, grouped redundant systems with load balancers or basic 2 box setups (App and database servers). I am an independent consultant not a sales person, but I have seen the On-Demand system be the better bet for many customers. I would reach out to your sales person and get some quotes, it can’t hurt and the ITSM 9.x of today is sooooo much better than the systems of the past.

Also wondered about setting up a secondary server for disaster recovery, but I'm guessing part of the reason of using the cloud is not having to do that. I'm also looking at the PDF that Remedy published about On Demand. I have no idea about the pricing, but (given their change review board etc.) I am guessing it could not possibly be cheaper than maintaining everything ourselves, like we're doing today.

We had all kinds of little weird problems after moving our 8.1.0 system from VM servers in our data center to AWS. When went to 8.1.2, almost all of our issues went away and some things that had broken during the move started to work again, such as LDAP/AD. We also went from Oracle Enterprise to Oracle Standard edition.

My group has been tasked with moving (or at least looking into moving) our current Remedy system to AWS -- specifically, to GovCloud. Currently we have ARS 8.0 with Oracle DB; Win. Svr. 2008. We are not using ITSM nor any other OOTB apps -- all custom-built. Based on what I've seen, the AWS EC2 product offers a Windows Server platform with various flavors of MS-SQL.

We are currently building a proof of concept installation using ARS 9.x, ITSM 9 and SSO. The developer who is working on the project has run into a myriad of issues. The problems he is having tend to be around broken installers, but he is also having a devil of a time getting the CMDB to work on one of the servers. Our organization is on a path to move to Amazon here in the next year, but the problems we are having right now are a bit concerning. He has spent days trying to get this up and running. Has anyone out there been able to do this? Do you know if BMC tests Remedy in the AWS environment? Love to hear from you! -- Warren R.
