Save money, optimize efficiency

We recommend customers to proactively assess their spending during the migration and modernization of workloads on the AWS cloud. Analyzing AWS cost and usage reports manually can be overwhelming, especially when managing multiple workloads across different environments. To simplify this process, our purpose-built cost analyzer tool automates the analysis, grouping cost elements by domain and workload.

By utilizing a real-time dashboard that presents live data, you gain enhanced visibility into your total spend. Additionally, we conduct forecasting and planning to provide you with greater flexibility in budgeting for future requirements.

Embracing data-driven decision-making empowers you to evaluate and prioritize the infrastructure needs of your current and upcoming IT projects effectively. This approach ensures that you can make informed choices and allocate resources efficiently.

How we help you

• Resource tagging strategy
• Automated spend analysis and allocation with AWS Cost and Usage Reports
• Estimation of baseline and peak demand and usage
• Dynamic planning and budgeting using the most recent pricing model and cloud optimization services with AWS Budgets

We offer a guaranteed minimum cost optimization of 20% right from the start, thanks to the effectiveness of our automated resource utilization analyzer tool. When customers migrate their workloads with a like-to-like matching approach, there are often idle capacities that can be utilized. We fine-tune the size of resources and maximize utilization by filling in more containers onto instances, maximizing efficiency.

Cloud costs can quickly escalate, especially due to data storage and access requirements. Traditional databases with costly licensing fees can leave customers feeling locked in. We can assist by migrating data onto managed databases, eliminating additional licensing fees, and reducing the effort required by database administrators (DBAs). Additionally, through strategic placement of data and applications and optimizing data access patterns, we can significantly reduce data egress costs. Our approach has been highly beneficial, as attested by our customers.

Cloud pricing is a nuanced field that requires expertise. Harnessing the benefits of cloud economics relies on solid architectural foundations. We understand that making changes mid-flight can be a daunting task. Therefore, our professional Cloud Architects collaborate closely with customers to implement these changes with minimal or no impact on production workloads. Your operations continue smoothly as we work together to enhance your architecture and optimize costs effectively.

How we help you

• Utilization metrics of deployed resources
• Resource grouping using containerization to improve utilization and reduce costs
• Match resource needs with rightly sized compute, database, and storage
• Procure AWS resources using the right pricing model – leverage reserved pricing and spot pricing
• Cost reduction using various AWS funding programs for migrations, new workloads, and specialized workloads

The AWS cloud landscape is ever-evolving, making it challenging for customers to stay updated on the latest pricing changes. While price reductions for existing services and instances happen automatically, AWS continuously introduces new instance types, storage tiers, and managed services. As dedicated AWS experts, we stay ahead of these trends, constantly exploring how our customers can leverage new features and services to optimize their cost structure and reduce the burden of infrastructure management.

Our culture of taking ownership is contagious, and our customers benefit greatly when their finance, infrastructure, and engineering teams collaborate with our FinOps practitioners. By adopting an owner mindset and utilizing a combination of technologies and best practices, we empower our customers' teams to take responsibility for creating budgets and procuring resources in a self-serve manner while adhering to overall budgeting policies.

We prioritize business continuity and do not treat it as an afterthought. Following our data-driven approach, we thoroughly assess your SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and design a backup and recovery strategy that strikes the right balance between caution and efficiency. Regular testing of the strategy ensures its effectiveness, preventing any potential disruptions and enabling robust business continuity.

How we help you

• Automated continuous monitoring of resource utilization
• Stay on top of recent pricing changes, more cost-effective instances/services
• Re-architecture guidance to leverage managed services to reduce staffing overhead
• Cost reduction through infrastructure automation, reducing manual infrastructure management overhead
• Actively managed backup and disaster recovery
