How We Help Organizations Streamline their Cloud Environment with our Cloud Optimization Services
Optimization is at the heart of cloud computing. That’s why our philosophy is to build a cloud ecosystem that is optimized across network, storage, compute, and operations to drive higher RoI. We do this without compromising on performance, security or scalability. Our cloud experts help you streamline IT operations and enhance cost efficiency while following industry best practices, as well as adhering to security and compliance guidelines.
The 5 Pillars of Cloud Optimization
The 5 Pillars of Cloud Optimization are the foundation of all optimization activities. As part of all of these, you will receive the best in security and governance standards with our years of expertise.
Network
Storage
- Optimize lifecycle of data backups and snapshots
- Assess and identify the optimal disk instances to be used. Consider disk compression and sophisticated object storage mechanisms
- Consider a hybrid storage model in which a disk is used for small and fast data (short-term storage), the rest is sent to object storage
Cost
- Use reserved instances to avail billing discounts as compared to on-demand pricing
- Use these or convertible reserved instances when workloads have stabilized and scaled for cost savings. Gain the flexibility to modify reservations across instance families/sizes, operating systems, and tenancy
- Avail deep discounts for using spot instances for containerized applications. Reserve stateless services such as data transformation services for spot instances
Compute
- Select an instance type that closely matches your desired compute requirements without paying for non-required capacity
- Optimize your selection for CPU usage, memory, storage, and networking profile
- Scale horizontally or vertically based on event triggers in compute requirements
Operations
- View the cloud infrastructure in its entirety instead of through silos. Save the human effort and costs for setting up, monitoring, and maintaining infrastructure
- Utilize NoOps, which is based on an automated and abstracted IT environment from the underlying infrastructure
- Avoid over-provisioning of resources, select the lowest-cost resources that cater to your technical needs, and optimize data transfer costs

Multi-cloud Optimization
- Optimize costs, storage, network, compute, and operations across multiple cloud providers
- Gain deep visibility about processes and rich analytics that give details about the patterns of cloud consumption
- Use these analytics to enable cost savings with extensive resource optimization across all cloud environments
Cloud Control & Accountability
- Visualize the consumption of resources on the cloud across all departments to have more control over cloud storage, cloud spend, and mapping of consumption per business unit
- Drive accountability by understanding trends and analyzing which needs are driving the cloud spend
- Deploy cost control measures by providing teams visibility into their usage and set departmental budgets
Threat Identification
- Identify potential threats to your cloud infrastructure before they turn into a challenge that hinders scaling initiatives
- Engage with processes to break down complex cloud infrastructures into simple components and processes that drive significant savings
Security
- Maintain the sanctity of your cloud environment with the help of more than 100+ security checks that filter out every possible vulnerability
