Why Cloud and what’s in Cloud Insights?
Cloud Cost Optimization is the #1 Priority for Organizations to improve Cloud adoption. (Source: Gartner® – 4 trends impacting cloud adoption in 2020).
Amount of wasted cloud spend is underestimated, lack of high quality analytics that can maximize savings compound this problem, finding ways to cut waste without impacting strategic initiatives is key to survive competition.
Why Cloud Insights?
• How much am I spending on the Cloud - Public, Private?
• How much of your spend is on resources that are no longer used?
• To know which assets are operating outside hours?
• To get notified when cloud resource cost exceed threshold.
• Are your cloud resources over-provisioned or underused
