Hosting Cost Optimization
We analyze compute, storage, network and platform services in your environment, uncover unused and oversized resources and show where you can save without touching performance and availability. You receive a prioritized action plan with concrete savings potential.
What you get
- A written report with an assessment of your cloud and server costs and the biggest cost drivers
- A prioritized action plan with savings potential, effort and impact per measure
- Quick wins with an immediate effect on running costs
- Recommendations for sustainable cost control with budgets, alerts, tags and clear ownership
- A results presentation with a joint walkthrough and prioritization
- Optional: support during implementation and impact measurement
Typical scope
2–3 days. The analysis runs largely with read access and does not disrupt your ongoing operations.
€2,000, fixed scope. Several environments or a larger scope by arrangement.
A short preliminary conversation, read access to the cost and usage data of your environment, one appointment to walk through the results.
Your benefit
What a hosting cost optimization does for your budget.
Fast impact
You know where budget sits unused, and with targeted interventions you reduce your running costs, with an effect that usually exceeds the investment after a short time.
Full visibility
You see what you actually pay for, which resources are genuinely needed and where compute, storage and platform services tie up money.
Lastingly under control
With budgets, alerts and clear ownership, the result lasts and your costs stay predictable.
Process
From clarifying the goal to handover, transparent in four steps.
Kickoff & data basis
We clarify goals and scope with your responsible people and gather the cost and usage data of your cloud or server environment, largely with read access.
Analysis of the environment
We review compute, storage, network, backup and platform services, find unused and oversized resources and check right-sizing, autoscaling and storage strategy.
Action plan & prioritization
We validate the savings potential, estimate impact and effort per measure and order everything by quick wins and sustainable steps.
Result & handover
You receive the report and action plan, discussed with the team, with clear next steps.
When an analysis pays off
Typical situations in which a hosting cost optimization has the greatest leverage.
Noticeably risen cloud or server costs
A cloud bill that has become hard to follow
More budget without compromising on performance
Solid savings potential before the budget round
Requests, limits and autoscaling that have drifted out of sync
Lasting cost control rather than a one-off cleanup
