Azure Cost Management.
Microsoft Azure Optimization is a strategic approach aimed at enhancing the efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of utilizing Microsoft Azure cloud services. At 2Data, we specialize in optimizing Azure deployments to maximize the value of the cloud platform. Our expertise lies in analyzing the current deployment, usage, and configurations to achieve great cost savings by applying different cost savings strategies.
Historical Pricing Analysis
We start the inventory phase by analyzing your current Microsoft Contract. This involves assessing the current pricing structure, identifying any amendments in place, reviewing your Commercial Terms, and determining what is covered by the commercial model. This analysis provides insight into the current commercial structure and serves as the foundation for improving the commercial model.
Microsoft Azure Usage Analysis
We then delve deeper into the Azure environment to analyze the current deployment, usage, and configurations. This is where the ‘data’ comes into play. To analyze your Microsoft Azure environment, we use our third-party tooling to provide us with the necessary data to analyze the current usage of the Cloud platform.
Provide and validate Cost Reduction and Optimization Strategies
After analyzing all the data and determining future demand, we will identify all opportunities to optimize the Azure environment. This provides you with insight into all possible cost reductions and optimization strategies. We will present this information in a management summary.
