Agribusiness Software Company Controls AWS Costs by Rightsizing Instances, Eliminating Idle Resources, and Improving Planning
Virtana, the AIOps observability company for hybrid cloud, brings cloud usage efficiencies to agribusiness software company, Software Solutions Integrated (SSI). Using Virtana Optimize, SSI was able to take control of their AWS costs by rightsizing instances, eliminating idle resources, and improving planning. These three actions alone resulted in a ~12% reduction in monthly spend.
“While a 12% savings may not sound huge,” said Darin Russell, IS Team Lead at SSI, “this is a big impact considering it represents only a small subset of total actions we are able to take thanks to Virtana Optimize.”
