Cloud Cost Optimisation

Reduce your cloud costs, and keep them under control

We model where your spend goes, move the workloads that cost less to run elsewhere, and manage the result so the savings last.

Illustration of man working on cloud migration project

Your workloads are stable, but your bill is growing.

It is hard to see where the budget goes, and harder to prove which workloads would cost less somewhere else. Aptum models where your spend goes, moves the workloads that cost less to run elsewhere, and manages the result so the savings last. The aim is the right workload on the right platform, with one clear view of what it costs.

You might recognise some of this:

A bill that keeps climbing

Your cloud spend has grown quarter over quarter while your workloads have stayed much the same, and nobody can point to what changed.

A move that never got tidied up

You went to the cloud quickly, for good reasons at the time, and the rationalisation that was meant to follow never got scheduled.

Suspicions you cannot prove

You think some workloads would cost less to run elsewhere, but nobody has the time to build the case that would prove it.

Charges nobody predicted

Egress and data-transfer charges move your bill around independently of what you deployed, which turns forecasting into guesswork.

Capacity you pay to leave idle

You are committed to reserved capacity that made sense when you bought it and no longer matches what you run.

A finance conversation on repeat

Finance asks why cloud spend is up again, and assembling the answer takes a week of somebody's time.

Our Approach

How Aptum helps lower the bill

The saving comes from matching each workload to the platform that suits it, then keeping it there. We model that first against your own usage, so you see the number before you commit to anything.

01

Model where spend goes

Our Cloud Repatriation Assessment and Well-Architected Review document where your spend goes and model what you would save by moving the right workloads.

02

Move the right workloads

Predictable workloads move onto Aptum private cloud or dedicated infrastructure, and the ones that belong on public cloud stay where they are.

03

Take on the operations

Aptum's managed services run the new environment, so the saving stays a saving instead of turning into work for your team.

04

Make the saving last

Continuous cost visibility shows spend as it changes, so the first optimisation is still working a year later.

What we look at when we model the savings

The saving comes from a handful of places, and which of them apply depends on what you are running. We work through these with your team during the assessment, using your own usage data.

Demand pattern

Demand pattern

Whether a workload runs steadily all month or bursts unpredictably. Steady workloads are usually the ones paying most for flexibility they never use.

Sometimes the recommendation is to stay where you are

The assessment models the savings against your own usage before you commit to moving anything, and where the numbers do not support a move, that is what the report says.

Why Aptum

Why teams choose Aptum

Aptum's professional services team runs the assessment and the migration, and managed services keeps it running afterwards. One provider takes it from the recommendation through to the saving showing up on your bill.

Aptum also manages public cloud. If the numbers say a workload should stay on Azure, AWS or GCP, it stays there and Aptum manages it, so you get the same recommendation either way.

We move what we find

Aptum finds the overspend, moves the workloads and runs them afterwards. The saving reaches your bill and stays there.

Predictable monthly costs

Flat monthly pricing on Aptum infrastructure, with no egress charges and no per-transaction IOPS fees, so the bill matches the plan.

One view of spend

Cost across your Aptum environments, and aspects of your public cloud usage, in one place instead of several provider dashboards to reconcile.

Fewer suppliers to manage

Assessment, migration and management from one team, so a single provider is accountable for the number you were promised.

FAQs

Common questions

How do I reduce my cloud costs?

By finding where the spend goes, moving the workloads that cost less to run elsewhere, and keeping visibility on the result so the saving lasts. The usual sources of waste are steady workloads paying for flexibility they never use, data-transfer charges, reserved capacity that no longer matches demand, and instances sized for a peak that stopped happening.

How can a managed provider lower my cloud bill?

By modelling where your spend goes, moving the workloads that cost less to run off the hyperscaler onto Aptum infrastructure, and managing them, so you stop paying for capacity you do not use.

Do I have to leave the public cloud?

No. Aptum moves what costs less to move and keeps the workloads that belong on hyperscale where they are. The goal is the right workload on the right platform.

What is cloud repatriation?

Cloud repatriation means moving a workload back from public cloud onto dedicated or private infrastructure, usually because its demand is steady and predictable enough that it gains nothing from paying for elasticity. It applies to some workloads and not others, which is what an assessment establishes.

How do I know how much I will save?

A cloud cost assessment models your potential saving against your own usage before you commit to anything.

Will I trade my cloud bill for a bigger operations burden?

No. Aptum's managed services run the environment, so your team is not left maintaining what you moved.

How does Aptum keep costs predictable? 

Flat monthly pricing with no egress or per-transaction IOPS fees, and one consolidated view of spend across your Aptum environments.
