Reduce costs by at least 20%
Using the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA), Silicon Overdrive will evaluate your current cost versus usage and build your migration and cloud licensing strategy accordingly.
Rightsize your resources
Reduce costs
Only pay for what you need
Why run a cost analysis on your servers?
Cost optimization has been ranked as the top cloud initiative for businesses for half a decade*. Despite this, many companies don’t have the right resources or enough time to do a proper analysis of their situation.
After a completed OLA assessment, you can make data-driven decisions with support from our highly certified AWS consultants. They know what to look for and can make an objective recommendation based on their findings.
Results of an OLA for a customer:
Initial situation:
- 21% of the servers did not show any usage at all
- More than half of the servers were used less than 50% of the time
- 92% of machines in use had an average CPU utilization of 18%
- In contrast to that, 78% of the machines had a RAM utilization of > 93%
Results:
- 30% saving potential compared to on-premises environment
- Leveraging consumption-based options in the cloud resulted in further cost reductions
- Storage capacity costs were lower in AWS compared to Azure
