Drastically Reducing Costs through Cloud Optimization

After a new acquisition for an existing customer, Centre quickly identified how to reduce massive cloud sprawl and drastically reduce costs.

CHALLENGE

Assessing Cloud Spend

A new acquisition led to the discovery of spending more than $1 Million dollars annually with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. Once the assessment was delivered, Centre was chosen to implement the new strategy to optimize the Azure environment resulting in the same storage space and immediate cost reduction.

"Centre’s commitment is rooted in a widespread work ethic of complete devotion to the customer."

SOLUTION AND RESULTS

Hybrid Environment Strategy

The project consisted of implementing a hybrid cloud environment based on workloads tailored to the Azure public cloud as well as a private cloud hosted by Centre. Since they owned the hardware, Centre recommended it be stored in their datacenter to avoid the traditional added costs associated with increasing storage.
