Whitepaper: Cloud Cost Optimisation

["Whitepaper"]"0""0"

Right Size, Right Buy, Optimise & Repeat

"Public Cloud is a 230 Billion industry growing at 22% p.a. Cloud providers offer some data/tools to help manage costs, but with this level of complexity, it is not surprising 35% of cloud spend is wasted."

Right Size

Highly granular data capture of resources. Identify the sizes of instances needed for each application workload. Determine optimum configuration of burstable or non-burstable instance. Identify idle times and workload periodicity. Understand the capacity of Hybrid-IT. Bring work back from the cloud if on premise capacity allows it.

Right Buy

Identify where the instance needs to run (location) and optimise for cost/performance. Identify the best way to buy the instance depending on how long it will be running. Identify how long an instance should run, and if it is idle, how long before it should shut down. Continually analyse the cloud provider billing engines to identify optimal usage and policies.

Optimise

Right-Size at the application level by correlating business demand with cloud service utilisation. Plan for growth and predict upcoming costs with advanced predictive analytics and Forward Thinking what-if scenario modelling. Improve business process with Service Management integration. Manage across Hybrid-IT, on prem and multi-cloud in a single tool with consistent reporting regardless of environment.
