Make Cloud investments with confidence
Hybrid Cloud optimization leverages industry-leading AI-powered technology to help your organization uncover opportunities to improve application performance and optimize costs across the hybrid Cloud.
After all, Cloud investments are growing significantly, and by 2026, the public Cloud market is forecast to be worth $1 trillion. Alongside this growth, waste is expected to grow in parallel, with estimates ranging from 26-31%. Without the correct tools, processes, and expertise, your organization may begin to overspend substantially, leading to inefficient investments. This is where Hybrid Cloud Optimization comes in, helping to increase your IT productivity by up to 35%.

FAQs
How can enterprises reduce hybrid cloud costs?
Enterprises can reduce hybrid cloud costs by identifying idle and over-provisioned resources, right-sizing infrastructure, improving workload placement and continuously monitoring consumption across cloud and on-premises environments. Optimization should consider application performance and business requirements alongside cost.
What is hybrid cloud cost optimization?
Hybrid cloud cost optimization is the process of improving cost efficiency across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises infrastructure. It helps organizations determine where workloads should run and how much infrastructure they actually require while maintaining required performance and availability.
Why do cloud costs become so expensive?
Cloud costs can increase because resources are easy to provision but are not always removed or resized when requirements change. Over-provisioned compute, idle resources, inefficient architectures, poor forecasting, and limited accountability for consumption can all contribute to unnecessary cloud spend.
How can we reduce cloud costs before migrating workloads?
Before migrating to the cloud, organizations should assess the actual performance and capacity requirements of existing workloads rather than simply replicating current infrastructure. Right-sizing before migration can prevent existing over-provisioning from being carried over to a new cloud environment.
What is the difference between FinOps and cloud cost optimization?
Cloud cost optimization focuses on identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce or optimize cloud consumption, while FinOps is a broader operating discipline that establishes shared financial accountability for cloud usage across technology, finance, and business teams. The two work together to make cloud cost management continuous rather than a one-off exercise.
