SOlution Overview

AWS Cost Optimization

Greater visibility into your AWS environment for empowered spending decisions

Reducing technology spend is a significant benefit of operating in the cloud. However, cloud spend can steadily rise over time or even skyrocket without a cost-effective infrastructure, continuous oversight, and transparency into your cloud environment. 

As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with expertise in FinOps, cloud cost management, and AWS discount programs, Mission Cloud provides a combination of AWS cloud experts, tooling, and proven methods that give you transparency and control over your AWS usage, performance, and costs. On average, we save customers an extra 30% off their AWS bill.

Cloud Cost Optimization with FinOps
What is FinOps?
While FinOps may look like shorthand for Financial Operations, the term originates from Finance and DevOps. FinOps emphasizes the importance of a collaborative relationship between business (finance) and engineering (development) regarding cost optimization and cloud financial management.

FinOps aims to enable businesses to get the most value from their AWS environment by connecting finance, business, and engineering teams to collaborate on cloud cost management strategies and decisions.
How Mission Cloud Leverages FinOps for Cost Optimization
FinOps is quickly becoming an industry-wide practice that helps organizations better understand and control cloud spending to promote a cost-conscious culture. We offer services like Mission Cloud Foundation and Mission Cloud One that feature access to CloudHealth by VMware and a dedicated FinOps Cloud Analyst that meets with you regularly to review your AWS activity and spend, followed by data-driven recommendations to optimize your AWS spend. The FinOps Cloud Analyst focuses on these four areas to ensure your AWS environment is fully optimized for cost and performance:
Environmental cleanup
Architecture
Operational practices
Financial engineering
AWS Cost Optimization Areas of Focus
AWS Well-Architected Framework - Cost Optimization Best Practices
As an AWS Well-Architected Partner, Mission Cloud provides services and tools to help you put to practice the five AWS-recommended design principles for cost optimization:
Implement cloud financial management
Cloud Financial Management is essential for financial success and business value acceleration in the cloud. Mission Cloud helps you become a more cost-effective organization by providing the expertise, programs, resources, and processes to manage your environment financially.
Adopt a consumption model
Pay only for what you need and use, and scale up or down as needed. For example, development and testing environments are only used for several hours every day. We can help you save by turning off/automating these resources.
Measure overall efficiency
Mission Cloud continuously measures your workload's business output and delivery expenses. Then we use this data to calculate your benefits of functionality, expanding output, and lowering costs.
Stop spending money on undifferentiated heavy lifting
AWS handles data center tasks like racking, stacking, and powering servers. Our cloud managed services relieve the operational strain of managing your operating systems and applications. You get to focus on your business rather than IT infrastructure.
Analyze and attribute expenditure
Mission Cloud makes it easier to identify and analyze the usage and cost of your workloads. Transparent attribution of IT costs to revenue streams and individual owners of various workloads help you measure ROI and enables workload owners a chance to optimize resources and lower costs.
