UiQ TV: Optimising Your Public Cloud Costs with IA-Cloud
Actionable recommendations that can have a profound impact on your cloud expenditure.
Cloud ServicesIf you’re seeking to maximise your public cloud investment while maintaining cost efficiency, this video is a must-watch.
Led by our Lead Cloud Developer at Ultima Labs, Tom O’Brien delves deep into the world of cost optimisation, offering actionable recommendations that can have a profound impact on your cloud expenditure.
In this insightful discussion, we address the question: How do we differentiate ourselves from conventional tools like Azure Advisor? The answer lies in our approach.
Beyond Azure Advisor: A Different Approach to Cloud Cost Management
Native cloud platforms like Azure Advisor, AWS Cost Explorer, and Google Cloud’s recommender systems provide cost optimisation suggestions. But, there’s a fundamental challenge: these tools weren’t designed with your specific business context in mind.
The result? Organisations face:
- Thousands of generic recommendations that lack prioritisation or business relevance
- One-size-fits-all advice that doesn’t account for your operational requirements or compliance needs
- Unclear implementation paths that require significant manual effort to assess and action
- Limited differentiation between critical optimisations and marginal gains
Rather than simply surfacing data, Ultima Labs has developed iA Cloud, an intelligent optimisation platform built on years of real-world consultancy experience with enterprise cloud environments.
The iA Cloud Difference: Actionable Recommendations That Drive Results
iA Cloud transforms raw cloud data into strategic intelligence. Our approach combines advanced automation with deep consultancy expertise to deliver:
- Context-aware filtering. We understand that not every recommendation makes sense for your environment. iA Cloud filters for relevance based on your industry, compliance requirements, and operational priorities.
- Impact-based prioritisation. Focus on optimisations that deliver measurable ROI, not just marginal savings that consume resources to implement.
- Implementation support. Beyond recommendations, we provide clear guidance on how to action changes, and when needed, hands-on support to ensure success.
- Continuous optimisation. Cloud environments evolve constantly. iA Cloud automates ongoing monitoring and surfaces new opportunities as your infrastructure changes.
This isn’t theory. Our methodology is grounded in what actually works when optimising complex, production cloud environments at scale.
