GOVERN AND MANAGE BUDGET AND SPEND OF YOUR CLOUD ENVIRONMENT

Organizations are adopting cloud-based solutions at a rapidpace. In fact Gartner predicts that the global public cloudservices market will grow 18% in 2017 and through 2020cloud adoption strategies will dictate greater than 50% ofIT outsourcing deals.1 While, the cloud provides proven technical benefits, however not all organizations are realizing the full business requirements of the cloud; including cost control, budgeting, forecasting and allocation of costs to name a few.

Organizations tend to have a multi-cloud strategy using best-of-breed cloud services based on operational, application and business unit requirements. This introduces tremendous complexity and challenges around visibility and cost control.If an organization does not have a good understanding of what cloud resources are being used and who is using it, this leads to wasted cloud resources and is nearly impossible to budget, track spend and communicate the cost strategy back to the business units.

A holistic approach to govern and manage budget and spendwill help organizations gain financial visibility and control of alltheir cloud resources. It provides a clear understanding of thetotal cloud spend and lets organizations analyze that budgetand spend by cloud providers, business units or applicationsto effectively meet business requirements.

Evaluate Options

PyraCloud Decision Calculator enables users to define workload requirements and it provides a

view into cloud resource options from AWS, Azure or Google. Organizations can describe their resource requirements such as compute, network, storage, OS and region to name a few, and the Decision Calculator will provide the best optionsfrom both a capability and cost perspective.

Discover and Govern Cloud Resources

PyraCloud Tag and Resource Manager (TRM) provides an abstraction layer above the native AWS

and Azure tagging capabilities so customers can discover and group resources across cloud providers. TRM provides a consistent tag structure across all cloud providers (Azure and AWS). Maintaining a consistent tag structure allows organizations to aggregate resource information from all cloud providers for enhanced governance and cost analytics.

Analyze & Optimize Consumption

PyraCloud Analytics Viewer enables organizations to customize dashboards and reports based on business units, groups of resources or

user personas. Customized reports and dashboards provide insight to help lines of business and stakeholders govern manage and optimize budget and spend of cloud resources.

Proactive Cost Optimization Across All Your Cloud Providers

Define Cost Structure

PyraCloud Custom Group Manager (CGM) allows customers to organize cloud workloads

and environments into business units and cost centers. Using CGM, organizations can define the hierarchy based on internal reporting needs. Once defined, the resources can be grouped into business units and cost centers. Organizations can effectively govern, budget, track spend and charge back cloud costs to the various business units.

Establish Budgets

PyraCloud Cloud Budget Manager (CBM) allows customers to set budgets by business unit or

project. By setting budgets, an organization can track down to the workload level establishing strong accountability for cloud spend. Once set, CBM will provide a view of where the organization is against the budget for the length of time. Additionally, indicators and alerts can be set showing how an organization is doing against the budget.
