The cloud has become integral to modern businesses, providing unprecedented scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a wide range of cloud-native services and solutions to help organizations achieve their digital transformation goals. Navigating the cloud can be challenging for many organizations, however, especially when managing their infrastructure and applications.
That’s where AWS Partners come in. By collaborating with other organizations specializing in cloud management and optimization, AWS customers can extend the capabilities of their cloud infrastructure and drive more value from their investments.
In this post, we will describe how AWS Partners TD SYNNEX and CoreStack worked together to introduce an innovative solution based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework and CoreStack’s artificial intelligence-powered NextGen cloud governance and FinOps capabilities to help customers optimize their cloud costs and improve overall cloud operations.
Real-Time Insights into Cloud Costs
TD SYNNEX is an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Service Provider (MSP) that’s a leading distributor of technology products and services, including AWS cloud services.
CoreStack is an AWS Cloud Operations Software Competency Partner and cloud management solution provider that offers a cloud governance and compliance platform for AWS customers.
Together, TD SYNNEX and CoreStack are extending the capabilities of AWS cloud services and empowering customers to optimize their cloud infrastructure for maximum efficiency and compliance.
One of the solutions these AWS Partners created through their collaboration is the TD SYNNEX FinOps COE, which is designed to provide organizations with real-time insights into their cloud usage and costs to manage cloud resources and expenses better.
The solution is designed to help organizations reduce their cloud spending and maximize the value they get from cloud investments while ensuring they have the resources to support their business operations. The service uses a combination of automation, analytics, and reporting to help organizations identify areas where they can optimize cloud spending, such as by identifying unused or underutilized resources.
How it Works
Leveraging the combined expertise of TD SYNNEX and CoreStack, AWS customers can take advantage of this powerful solution to optimize their cloud infrastructure and achieve their digital transformation goals.
The solution involves automating the review and remediation aspects of the AWS Well-Architected Review. The review is focused on targeted areas to maximize efficiency, and whenever appropriate manual intervention may be required during review and remediation.
Outcomes you can expect as a result of this collaboration is:
- Accelerated issue identification (against AWS Well-Architected pillars)
- Reporting and prioritizing
- Remediation
