The right Cloud optimization partner can reduce your ongoing
cloud operational cost without compromising on continuous
security and compliance
Cloud cost optimization is all about analyzing your resource usage, assign right resources for a workload, sizing them to meet the demand and enabling it to meet the security and compliances in a phased manner Cloud provides the organization with limitless scalability but with right cloud optimization strategy you can reduce IT cost by only charging for the resource you use. AWS and Microsoft azure charge the cloud customers for the total number of resources they order even if some resources are not used. As per the recent report by Gartner analysts Brandon Medford and Craig Lowery 70% of the cloud costs are wasted.
Cloud operation challenges faced by the enterprises and how we help you overcome them are listed below:
It is extremely important to ensure that the usage and costs move in line with demand dynamically.

We dive deep into these public cloud resources to perform the required cost analysis using out-of-box cost management tools from respective public cloud services to identify opportunities to optimize for high availability, scalability, security and ongoing cloud usage cost
These assessments are done based on the knowledge we have acquired over a decade and based on the recommended best practices and standards to leverage the cloud resources and services to ensure cloud cost optimization, continuous security, continuous compliance and high availability
Apart from the above, we also analyse and recommend utilizing public cloud partner programs from the respective cloud vendors to avail monetary benefits or credits to add more value to the cloud services
The CoE team reviews the findings from the assessments and discusses it along with the customer on the options and possible solutions to optimize the cloud and the cost. While doing so the CoE team will keep in mind about the customer 's cloud infrastructure goals of prior to implementation.
