USE CASES

Our product makes it easy for all the key functions dealing with IT/Cloud computing infrastructure in your organization to perform their role to perfection !

We  will optimize your spending on Public/Private/Hybrid Cloud services like VMs, storage and database by not being prescriptive but by  giving you multiple money saving options across various Cloud providers  while taking all the business constraints into account.

If you have  on-premise infrastructure, we will be able to help you optimize it that will allow to you defer any capital spend that you may have planned.

We use scientific methods to forecast what your upcoming infrastructure need would be based on your key business metrics and historical usage patterns.  We will translate this to configurable specifications across various Cloud service providers which  will allow you to budget, plan, negotiate and secure the additional capacity in a structured manner. 

Our solution not only gives you fine grain visibility on your spending but also provides a monetary view of the under utilization at each asset level. If you combine this with our ability to optimize and forecast,  you will be not only be able to swiftly address all nodes of inefficiencies but also be in a position to allocate budgets precisely in the upcoming cycles.
If you are planning to move some or all of your infrastructure to Cloud, we will make sure the inefficiencies that are part of your existing on-premise infrastructure are not replicated in your new setup. We will also provide multiple options across various Cloud service providers which will allow you to make the right set of decisions for your organization.
Our forecasting models will let you know the  need you may have for the upcoming horizons in configurable specifications across various service providers.  This will allow you to issue standardized RFPs across service providers and provide you with sufficient time to pick the most optimal solution.

OUR DIFFERENTIATORS

Our solution suite is not “one more” that you can find in the industry. We have put  a lot of thought into how organizations function and how decisions are made and reflected that in our solution to accelerate your IT infrastructure related decision making process. Key differentiators include:

We are not aligned to any service provider and our solution suite works on any IT infrastructure setup – Public, Private, Hybrid or On-premise. The options that we present will respect all your business constraints
Our solution suite naturally lends itself to considerate decision making. We present multiple options within and across service providers along with their trade-offs to your teams, who may have conflicting goals, to collaboratively decide on the option that will best help meet the organization’s business goals.
We have designed our tool to cater to all the organizational functions that will have a say on IT infrastructure.  Finance, Procurement, Technology and Operations are some of the functions that can get deep insight across multiple dimensions into the performance and return on investment.
Performance of IT infrastructure is typically presented in units like percentage, credits, size, count etc. We have translated all of these disparate measures to be represented using one unit – monetary value. This allows the entire organization to have a common basis for determining the return on investment.
