Overview
The Challenge
As Mobileum’s global customer base grew, so did the complexities of optimizing their AWS infrastructure — in particular, managing purchase commitments. Mobileum faced unique challenges due to the short-term nature of customer contracts, which made traditional models like Reserved Instances (which require a minimum commitment of 12 months) unworkable. This mismatch prevented Mobileum from capitalizing on discounts through direct AWS commitments.
Mobileum needed a commitment-free solution to optimize discounts while retaining the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing customer demands without locking them into long-term financial obligations.
The Solution
Mobileum turned to nOps to automate management of their Savings Plans and Reserved Instances. nOps backed Mobileum with a 100% utilization guarantee of any unused commitments, which allowed Mobileum to enjoy discounts without the risk of over-committing.
By leveraging nOps, Mobileum didn’t need to spend countless hours analyzing their cloud usage to calculate the right commitments. nOps automatically monitored and optimized commitments across all AWS accounts and services — significantly reducing management overhead, and ensuring 100% utilization of all commitments.
Letting the nOps platform automatically manage their AWS commitments based on actual usage and demand provided Mobileum significant savings without any risk or extra work for their team.
Business Impact
With nOps, Mobileum reduced AWS costs of On-Demand spending by more than 37% over the last year.
By automating its commitment management with nOps, Mobileum streamlined its cost optimization efforts and freed its engineering team to focus on building and innovating for its global telecom customer base.
