Cloudyn has released new Amazon Web Services optimization Power Tools, aiming for increased efficiency and savings for AWS cloud deployments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe power tools were developed in response to what we perceive as the market\u2019s growing need for clarity and control over cloud capacity, cost and utilization. The market is ripe for a significant overhaul with companies no longer able to ignore the fluctuating costs associated with the dynamic use of their cloud. Our data shows that 29% of customers spend $51,000-250,000 annually with AWS; only 6% of \u00a0customers spend $250,001 – $500,000, but this is the group with the largest saving potential with an average of 46%. All AWS customers Cloudyn monitors have cost optimization potential of between 34% – 46%,\u201d commented Sharon Wagner, CEO of Cloudyn.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>The popular Reserved Instance Calculator, which launched in October 2012, is being complemented with the release of the EC2 and RDS reservation detectors. Moving beyond optimal reservation pricing, Cloudyn now recommends which On-Demand instances can be relocated to unused and available reservations. When On-Demand instances don\u2019t match any idle reservations, sell recommendations for the unused reservation are generated.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cNextdoor\u2019s growing social network relies heavily on AWS and managing cost is a priority for us,\u201d comments Matt Wise, Senior Systems Architect at Nextdoor.com. \u201cCloudyn gives us clarity into all our cloud assets and ensures that we utilize them fully. Additionally, Cloudyn\u2019s sizing and pricing recommendations enable us to use the cloud in the most cost-effective way possible.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>A new S3 Tracker analyzes S3 usage tracked by bucket or top-level folders and highlights inefficiencies together with step-by-step recommendations on how to optimize. A shadow version detector reveals otherwise hidden shadow S3 versions which inflate the monthly bill.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cWe were surprised to learn how many companies simply don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on inside their S3 storage. The new tool splits S3 across buckets and allocates cost per usage providing crystal clear visibility. Interestingly, the most expensive \u2018Standard\u2019 storage type is also the most widely used, dominating with 84%. Post-optimization, this can be reduced to 60% and redistributed to the Reduced and Glacier storage alternatives,\u201d continued Mr. Wagner.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
