This software allows a company to use a system of integrated applications to manage the business and automate several back office functions related to technology, services and human resources. It integrates all angles of an operation -- product planning, development, manufacturing, sales and marketing -- in a single database and user interface. ERP software is very slick, and very expensive -- some companies spend five-figures and some spend millions of dollars. Along the way,  Microsoft Dynamics AX ...

We think this is a somewhat blinkered approach as the smallest instances are almost never useful for production environments! We decided to go out and see what was on offer in India, from various cloud vendors but before doing so we set certain parameters so as to make it as close to an apples to apples comparison as possible. First of all we decided that we should look at only those instances which were  priced at or near the US$ 0.20/ hour mark. Secondly, considering the way the market and technology is moving as well as to ensure that performance of various plans was as similar as possible, we wanted to limit our comparison to only those providers who were exclusively  offering Solid State Disk (SSD) based instances . Even though not too many players in India are offering SSD based plans, we think this is the future an...
