Do you know you can reduce your cloud spend by an average of 35% by properly optimising your cloud resources?

Optimising cloud spend by right-sizing and right-buying

Why 35% of cloud spend is being wasted and how to save it

For those in the IT and business world, the decade just gone will go down in technological history as the ‘Decade of the Cloud’. For businesses, it represented quite literally a whole new world; a world in which scalability, flexibility and reduced IT spend were all possible. It was endorsed by many cloud-native start-ups that have since become the world’s leading tech unicorns – the likes of Facebook, Amazon and Netflix. As a result, the Cloud went from being a back-office consideration to a key business tenet that goes as high as the C-suite. While the last ten years have seen the Cloud become a business ‘must-have’, it is the next ten years that will really count as businesses expand the depth and breadth of their usage. The coming decade will define who is making the best possible use of the Cloud and who is losing out – and it is not the back-office IT team who will be the deciding factor. It is up to the C-suite to not just recognise cloud cost optimisation as a top priority, but to ensure their team has the right tools and understanding to better align cloud spend with cloud usage.  This whitepaper will provide a comprehensive overview for business leaders of how and why they are currently wasting, on average, 35% of cloud spend1. It will then look into what tools they should be considering to help them with right-sizing and right-buying their cloud usage; that is, optimising the Cloud by prescriptively aligning both the size, type and usage of the Cloud instance with their exact needs.
