Cloud Costs Optimization
Cloud processing and storage solutions are truly game-changing systems for dozens of businesses out there that get unprecedented scaling and cost-saving opportunities with cloud principles. But in order to achieve the required profitability of adopting cloud technologies, you must also properly manage and optimize cloud systems you are using (otherwise, lacking the required expertise, you may as well spawn new costs instead).

Scope of Services
In order to cut costs in all the right places based on the project specifics, we treat every project individually, studying it far and wide and pinpointing the most profitable financial shortcuts. However, over the years of practice, we have formed the following essential stages that enable a smooth and subsequent workflow for any scope of work.
Technical audit
A thorough inspection of all underlying project elements, from the fundamental cloud architecture to external integrations and connections is the crucial kick-off stage for every project. This is where we get familiar with the specifics of your cloud platform and all involved software, auditing it inside-out. Once we get an in-depth picture of the whole cloud infrastructure, we can pinpoint the most relevant cloud cost optimization corners.
Utility and infrastructure services expenses monitoring
Cloud traffic limitations, data accumulation, and load balancing must be strictly monitored in order to maintain the stability of the system and avoid downtime occurrences. On top of that, cloud resource management equals cloud expenses management, which means regulating funds dedicated to maintaining the cloud system, keeping it optimized for profits. This is the major process of overall cost optimization cloud.
Infrastructure and services optimization
We plan out thorough optimization of the whole project infrastructure with all of its services based on the preliminary audit research and system monitoring efforts. This is what allows us to tackle the most individually proper points of cloud cost optimization. For instance, we can set proper traffic load caps according to traffic spike periods in order to autonomously save resources.
Project migration
Are you still running a cumbersome proprietary or legacy system that is slowly but gradually running out of space and performance resources? The timely scaling along with cloud cost optimization can be carried out with the help of system migration to the cloud environment. This will help scale the powers of the system and optimize resource consumption, cutting costs significantly.
Cloud Costs Optimization Stages
Fundamental cost optimization steps help you save money immediately after our cooperation. We have developed an improvement strategy and know how to reduce the cost of computing resources, remove the hidden positions of your excess costs and implement a culture of cost awareness.
Assessment of the current state
Our team determines the level of visibility and cost control. We take into account your knowledge of understanding the reasons for your increasing costs, agreed to safety standards, whether there is a use of automation, and the quality of monitoring to identify critical situations.
Strengthening
IT Outpost achieves transparency in your infrastructure, which helps you start strengthening your position within the company, eliminating waste, and starting standardization. We remove obsolete infrastructure, review security policy, identify your used features in the cloud to optimize costs.
Bringing to standards
Our experts define the operating environment for the infrastructure. Set the deployment method for work resources. We identify the right sample types to optimize costs, increase productivity. We also analyze information about your tools and structures to standardize the process.
Optimization
This stage will automate and improve your infrastructure. It takes advantage of the special characteristics of cloud structures. You already have a comprehensive understanding of the business system with the necessary techniques that make it easy to improve performance. You are already approaching the use of almost the full potential of your resources.
Support
After successfully completing stages, we help with the automatic increase in infrastructure, identify risks and create preventive measures to eliminate them. We also notify you of inefficient usage through flexible analytics. We implement a closed-loop process for continuous optimization.
Cloud Costs Optimization Benefits
Financial advantage
If your priorities are defined wisely and you use all your cloud resources, then your costs will decrease. Due to inefficient operations, you are wasting money. Therefore, we propose the use of the right strategies, technologies to optimize costs by reducing unnecessary costs.
Transparency of work processes
With cost optimization tools, you can see what’s going on in your workloads. Special focus on redundant resources and those that are underused. You also get a comprehensive understanding of each department, your products, and your costs.
More security
The main thing is to choose the right cost management methods, if you choose the wrong methods yourself, you will get more problems than benefits. It will also affect the cybersecurity of your business. But we use only approved techniques, to reduce data leakage.
Productivity increase
Using optimized cloud services makes you more efficient. We have many tools to improve workloads. Our team has competently built the use of techniques so that we leave the necessary instances, tasks and remove unnecessary ones. Thus, we focus on the right software.
