Why nClouds for FinOps?

nClouds delivers strategic FinOps solutions for your cloud environment:

Cost Optimization

If an organization is looking to optimize its AWS spend and reduce costs, it can engage in an AWS FinOps optimization to identify areas in which it can optimize resource usage, eliminate waste, and reduce unnecessary spending.

Better Visibility

If an organization lacks visibility into its AWS usage and cost, it can engage in an AWS FinOps optimization to gain insights into its AWS usage and identify areas in which it can optimize usage and reduce costs.

Cloud Growth

If an organization is experiencing cloud growth and needs to manage increasing AWS usage and cost, it can engage in an AWS FinOps optimization to optimize usage, improve cost efficiency, and manage costs as it scales.

Mergers and Acquisitions

If an organization is undergoing a merger or acquisition, it can engage in an AWS FinOps optimization to optimize resource usage, reduce costs, and integrate AWS accounts and usage.

Specialized Expertise

If an organization lacks the expertise or resources to manage AWS costs and usage, it can engage in an AWS FinOps optimization to leverage the expertise of an AWS FinOps team to optimize usage, reduce costs, and improve efficiency.

Focus on Core Business

Companies oftentimes have engineering resource constraints and deadlines for products and features. An engagement can enable a company to optimize while remaining focused on its core business and customers. The potential savings can help offset engineering resources and allow the organization to move even faster.

Key Services

The nClouds FinOps program is designed to help you optimize and ensure efficiency on your AWS cloud spend. This three-step engagement process is an optional, ongoing engagement for customers to ensure cloud spend remains optimized going forward.

1. No-Cost FinOps Rapid Diagnostic

Our team will scan your environment to identify potential cost optimizations and savings opportunities, resulting in a one-page diagnostic analysis providing you with insights into viable cost optimization areas within your cloud infrastructure.

2. FinOps Optimization Assessment

nClouds Solutions Architects will then create a comprehensive statement of optimization opportunities along with potential cost savings over the next 12 months. A statement of work will include all optimizations along with the cost for nClouds to do the optimizations.

This in-depth analysis charges a flat fee which will be applied to the optimization should you choose to engage nClouds for the optimization itself.

3. FinOps Cost Optimization for Realized Savings

Our custom optimizations can be curated to your environment’s needs, including any or all of the following areas of improvement:

Cost Analysis and Reporting
Analyzing AWS cost and usage data to identify cost drivers and trends and generating regular reports to monitor and track spending
Resource Optimization
Optimizing AWS resource usage to reduce costs, such as rightsizing EC2 instances and using spot instances for noncritical workloads
Reserved Instances
Analyzing usage patterns to identify which workloads are suitable for reserved instances (RIs) and purchasing RIs to achieve cost savings
Spot Instances
Using spot instances for workloads that can tolerate interruptions to achieve significant cost savings
Auto Scaling
Leveraging AWS Auto Scaling to scale up or down based on demand, optimizing costs and reducing waste
Governance and Control
Establishing policies, guardrails, and leverage tagging to control costs, such as limiting resource usage to certain teams or departments

Data Management
Optimizing storage and data-transfer costs by using services such as Amazon S3 Intelligent-Tiering and Amazon Glacier for long-term storage
Continuous Monitoring and Optimization
Regularly monitoring cost and usage data, identifying opportunities for optimization and cost reduction, and continuously optimizing to ensure maximum cost savings
Cost Allocation
Allocating costs to specific teams, departments, or projects to increase visibility and accountability for AWS spending
Cloud Cost Management Tools
Using AWS Cloud cost management tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and AWS Cost Anomaly Detection to manage and optimize AWS spending
Automated Scheduling
Automating the starting and stopping of resources—like development and staging environments—when not in use, lowering your AWS cloud spend and reducing waste
