Are you considering a cloud migration? Why not compare your current cost level with an optimized scenario on AWS Web Services (AWS), via our AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (AWS OLA)? The assessment also helps to identify areas for improvement and significant cost savings for organizations who have already made the switch to cloud computing. After all, optimizing resources and reducing costs are paramount to achieving business success at any stage in your cloud journey.
What is the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment?
AWS has developed a methodology aimed at optimizing cloud resources and reducing costs. This methodology, called AWS OLA, measures the actual resource and license consumption of your on-premises or cloud workloads. It uses the measurements to generate a model for the optimal—in other words, minimal—configuration when running these workloads on AWS, and calculates the associated costs for resources and licenses. The results take into account the advantages AWS offers both when it comes to minimizing resources and licensing costs, and to improving performance.
For companies considering a cloud migration, AWS OLA is a great tool to compare your current cost level with an optimized scenario on AWS. And even if you are already running your workloads in the cloud, AWS OLA can still identify areas for improvement and significant cost savings.
The 4 steps of our approach
Cambrian Technologies is focused on getting you the most value for your money, by leveraging the advantages the AWS platform has to offer. To accomplish this, we tailor and enhance the AWS OLA to your specific situation. We complement the standard approach with specific technical deep dives based on our in-house expertise. The following steps form the core of our approach:
1. Scope workloads
In this first step, we focus on determining the scope and approach: how can we meet your goals and expectations? Our specialists will work with you to identify the workloads to assess, understand your requirements and evaluation criteria, and to design the next steps.
2. Collect data
Next, we measure your actual resource usage (compute, storage, and networking). In addition, we examine your existing third-party licensing needs, costs and agreements. This provides a solid basis, so you can make well-informed decisions about migration and optimization opportunities.
3. Analyze data
We analyze the collected data, and compare it with an optimized AWS architecture. For this step, we also work with you to create a business case that includes tailored recommendations outlining modernization scenarios and their impact on your organization.
4. Plan next steps
Time to review our findings and compare the scenarios. We will work closely with you to fine-tune the business case and outline a preferred optimization scenario that meets your expectations and goals, so you can decide and plan your next steps.
Focus on efficiency
Our enhanced AWS OLA approach offers in-depth insights, empowering you to make data-driven decisions for your next steps. With a focus on efficiency, our assessment delivers reliable, tailored results within a short time frame, ensuring you can act confidently and promptly.
