Extracting value from the cloud depends on operating in a “cloud” way. If you are still treating the cloud like a physical data center, it can be very expensive. We can help!

ScaleSec will review your environment to find immediate cost savings potential as well as evaluate your organization’s ability to consistently optimize costs over the long term. ScaleSec looks at four key layers of financial management in the cloud: architecture, operations, platform, and governance.

To find immediate cost savings potential, ScaleSec will review your architecture to identify unnecessary/forgotten resources, excessive or inflexible resources, redundant tools and services, and inefficient resource usage. This might include Amazon S3 buckets with no retrieval, Amazon EC2 instances that are over-provisioned or don't use autoscaling, or excessive cross-zone VPC data transfer.

For each opportunity, ScaleSec will provide specific actionable recommendations like retiring, rearchitecting, or rightsizing resources. This may include re-architecting workloads from Amazon EC2 to AWS Lambda, migrating databases to Amazon Aurora, or automating management with AWS Systems Manager.

These one-time improvements are impactful, and the greatest improvements come from continuous optimization. ScaleSec will evaluate your organization’s ability to monitor and govern cloud costs on an ongoing basis, and provide detailed recommendations to set your organization up for success.
