Optimization
What Are Cloud Optimization Services?
Many organizations waste money on redundant and over-provisioned infrastructure, consuming a large portion of their overall cloud spending. Cloud optimization services provide accurate and meaningful reports for an organization on how they use resources, how much they spend, and where they can improve efficiency. Increased visibility allows organizations to tailor their spending to their business needs.
Key Pillars to Optimize Cost Reduction
When utilizing cloud computing, an organization can easily overspend by allocating more resources to your workloads than they would on-premises. The pricing model when it comes to cloud offerings is usually difficult to understand.
Cloud providers do not prevent users from spending too much or provide tools that work across hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud environments.
Performance
It is important to ensure that your services and applications can operate quickly and smoothly. A cloud infrastructure can suffer from poor performance due to network latency and bottlenecks. Regularly testing the performance of applications is a necessary task to optimize your cloud environment.
Reliability
To maximize the reliability of an organization’s cloud applications, it is important to mitigate risks of cloud-based workloads becoming unavailable.
Providing redundancy is a solid strategy for ensuring reliability. It involves a company deploying multiple instances of a single workload across multiple regions within a cloud or in separate clouds.
Security
ProCern can provide centralized visibility and leverage tools to provide actionable security insights into your cloud environment.
ProCern offers advanced expertise across many cloud platforms- from Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to IBM Cloud, Oracle, and Google, with hypervisor support that spans VMware vSphere, Nutanix Acropolis, Linus KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, and IBM PowerVC.
