CloudAtlas® Utilization & Right Sizing

Analyze sizing to best fit your instance in the cloud: Provisioning of Resources

Improve cloud efficiency with CloudAtlas. Analyze resource utilization and rightsizing recommendations to reduce waste while supporting workload needs.

Solution Overview

Utilization and Right Sizing Overview

Using accurate inventory data, build a detailed cost model with ROI and TCO for running workloads in the cloud relative to on-premises operational costs.

CloudRecon combines inventory information with actual utilization telemetry to determine pricing for SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, Lift & Shift, and VM consolidation. Consolidate, downsize, or decommission redundant or unused technologies to migrate efficiently and cost-effectively.

Utilization and Right Sizing

Lift & Shift Optimization

Map existing virtual machines and database servers to optimal cloud instance sizes based on actual 95th percentile utilization rather than bloated specs.

Lift & Shift Optimization

TCO & Cost Modeling

Calculate precise Total Cost of Ownership and ROI projections before migrating workloads, avoiding unpredictable cloud spend.

On-Premise Inputs vs. Instance Sizing

CloudRecon® analyzes operational workloads, disk IOPS, and host metrics to prescribe the closest cloud VM SKU match (e.g. B-series, D-series, E-series, or M-series).

Strategic Framework

Best Practices in Right-Sizing

Choose your CSP and modernization partners wisely.

When working with a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) or Systems Integrator, ensure they utilize empirical utilization data rather than raw allocated specs. Right-sizing SQL instances and virtual machines based on 95th percentile utilization saves up to 55% in operational expenditures annually.
