Azure Cost Optimization Assessment

What Our Cost Optimization Assessment Covers

Our comprehensive assessment includes a detailed analysis of your Azure environment, evaluating the way your resources are configured and billed.
Here’s how we deliver real value:

• Detailed Resource Utilization Analysis: We analyze specific Azure resources such as Virtual Machines, Storage, SQL Databases, and Networking configurations to identify underutilized or idle assets. This precision-based approach ensures that each resource is allocated effectively to reduce waste and maintain performance. 
• Cost Model Assessment: Understanding your Azure cost structure is critical. We evaluate your Reserved Instances (RIs), Spot Instances, and Pay-as-You-Go (PAYG) subscriptions to recommend the most cost-effective models, helping you strike a balance between performance and expense. 
• Right-Sizing Recommendations: Based on usage patterns, our team suggests resizing options for VMs, Storage, and App Services. By aligning resources with actual workloads, we help prevent oversizing, which can result in unnecessary spending. 
• Historical Spending and Forecasting: Our assessment includes a thorough review of your historical Azure spending and usage patterns. With this data, we provide accurate cost forecasts that guide your long-term cloud budgeting and investment planning. 
• Best-Practice Cost Management Guidance: VIAcode offers insight into Azure cost management solutions, including VIAcode’s Azure Assist Cost Management service, that can help your team monitor, track, and manage costs moving forward.

Each element of our assessment is built to support clear, sustainable cost control, empowering you with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions for your Azure environment.

How It Works

1. Data Collection and Analysis: Using VIAcode’s vBox technology, we gather only telemetry data on your Azure environment to collect detailed usage metrics and spending data.  
2. Identify Optimization Opportunities: With a complete view of your Azure setup, our experts pinpoint specific opportunities to reduce costs, whether through right-sizing, eliminating unused resources, and/or optimizing billing models. 
3. Delivering Actionable Recommendations: Our findings are compiled into a customized report that outlines prioritized and actionable recommendations, offering practical, data-driven solutions tailored to your unique Azure setup. 
4. Planning for Future Efficiency: Beyond immediate optimizations, we provide insights into expected cost trends, helping you build a long-term strategy for maintaining efficient Azure spending.
