Cloud Optimiser
Take control of your clouds
Managing cloud spend to keep within budget is an IT priority. However, doing so remains a challenge. In most cases, organisations are spending significantly more on their cloud environments than is necessary.
When looking at overall cloud expenditure, cost is not the only consideration you should be making – security, governance and regulatory compliance are all areas which require careful attention and management.
Are you struggling with:
- Visibility across all cloud assets?
- Detailed reporting and cost breakdown?
- Ability to allocate cloud consumption?
- Identifying potential savings?
- Identifying potential security issues?
- Maintaining compliance standards?
- Improving efficiency through task automation?

Solve your cloud management challenges
While it may not be immediately obvious, the cost of status quo when it comes to managing your cloud environment can be significant. More often than not, organisations are generally over-provisioning cloud workloads without reason, resulting in wasted expenditure and resourcing.
Visibility
Cloud visibility, or lack thereof, can be a real challenge for organisations.
Lack of both visibility and the time needed to identify issues can lead to an array of concerns, such as poor governance across multiple clouds, ballooning cloud spend, lack of ability to forecast spend accurately and increased security threats.
Security and Compliance
Within many organisations, cloud estates are far from secure or compliant.
The reality of fast-paced cloud adoption means that organisations engaged in multi-cloud adoption now have a greater threat surface than ever before. These same organisations also now face compliance configuration issues – which often go unaddressed for long periods of time.
