Rightsizing
Rightsizing your AWS instances to ensure you only pay for what you need.
Instance Rightsizing
Why pay for resources that aren't being used?
Rightsizing ensures your AWS cloud environment is lean and efficient by
identifying where resources are underutilised. Newer generation instances
are often more cost-effective than their legacy predecessors—we'll help you
to identify where switching to new instance types could save you money
without causing you engineering headaches.
In-Depth Analysis
Our approach is mindful of peaks in demand. We carefully
select resources that can safely operate on smaller instance sizes without
compromising performance in any way. We know that not all workloads will be
supported on all instance types, so we're not going to make recommendations
that will cause you more problems than they will solve.
Instance Reservation
Purchasing reserved instances at the right time to generate significant AWS cost savings.
Leverage Long-Term Savings
We identify opportunities to purchase reserved RDS and
EC2 instances. Committing to resources in advance can generate significant
savings over hourly billing. Reserved instances can be purchased for a 1 or
3-year term and have payment options of all upfront, part upfront or no
upfront—you could save up to 75% over on-demand pricing.
Reserved Instance Rebalancing
Are you sure that all of the reserved instances you are
paying for have been properly applied to your AWS workloads? Logicata will
help you to ensure that all your purchased reserved instances are being
fully utilised.
Resource Scheduling
Powering down non-production resources outside of working hours.
Reduce Costs In Idle Periods
Why pay for resources that nobody is accessing? We'll
show you when you are accruing the most costs and how to reduce spend at
other times of the day.
Power Down Non-Production Resources
Do your developers and testers really work all evening
and all weekend? There are 40 hours in the working week and 168 hours in a
calendar week—that's a huge difference, not to mention a huge cost to your
business. We can automate the power on/power off schedule for development
and test environments to save 60-70% of run cost.
Billing Management & Chargeback
Making sense of every billing detail and planning for upcoming expenses.
Understand Complex Cloud Billing
Our billing management tools and experts help you to
understand the increasingly complex world of public cloud billing.
Ensure Resources are Charged Back
Want to know which department is spending the most on
AWS? Want to know who your most expensive developer is? Want to know which
of your products has the highest cost base? By implementing a detailed
tagging policy, Logicata can ensure that you are able to charge back cloud
resources to the appropriate teams within your business.
Reporting & Implementation
Monthly reporting with recommendations, implemented by Logicata AWS cloud experts.
AWS Cost Optimization Report
We produce a detailed cost optimization report with
actionable recommendations to help you keep your AWS cloud costs under
control. We'll also give you online access to the tool that we use to
generate the recommendations (this keeps us honest). The report comes in an
executive summary format that can be easily circulated around your
organization—your executives won't be interested in logging into the tool
and learning how to interpret the results.
Recommendation Implementation
Don't have the time or resources to implement our
recommendations? Given the right level of access, Logicata cloud experts can
carefully action all recommendations in accordance with your existing change
management processes to ensure that your AWS cloud costs are optimised
