Best practice governance and remediation policies
Cloud environment review to drive cost efficiencies
NEC Optimise the Cloud service reviews the fundamental optimisation targets within either your Azure or AWS Cloud environment and then outlines best practice governance and remediation policies to ensure inherent cost efficiency across your organisation from application development, through to production operational management.
The service focuses on delivering real benefits by discovering, analysing and reporting on cost optimisation targets. Using continuous monitoring of Azure & AWS service performance metrics enables identification of idle, unused, un-optimised or underutilised services. The identified services can then be remediated using policy-based workflows used to continually optimise services.
