Version 1 - Azure Cost Control Managed Service

The Version 1 Azure Cost Control Managed Service provides insights into your Azure estate delivering ongoing cost control & waste reduction.

This Azure cost managed service can help you understand your Azure entitlement, monthly consumption, and advise on how best to right size your cloud costs. By optimising your cloud footprint, this delivers predictable cost planning & control over your Azure spend.

Organisations making a transition to Azure or who have completed a transition will demand optimised costs but are unlikely to achieve this without an investment in operational excellence. Constant tuning, management and automation of cloud assets is essential to achieve efficiency and cost optimisation.

Specific actions we would advise customers to undertake include:

• Identifying and suspending ghost and unattached storage instances
• Right-sizing Azure consumption elements to reduce costs to an optimal level without impacting performance
• Identifying, suspending or terminating unused compute instances
• Uncovering opportunities to use reserved instances in order to drive cost savings from up-front investment
• Governance of license mobility and Azure Hybrid use benefits

Key Features:

• Access to our cloud infrastructure & license experts
• Optimised Azure billing service removes complexity
• Savings advice helps lower your Azure bill
• Service levels to match your requirements

All terms, conditions and pricing will depend on the size and complexity of the Azure estate.
