Challenge
Continuous cost optimization and capital reallocation to sustain innovation and growth.
Fischer migrated their entire production environment from RackSpace to AWS in the summer of 2021. They had planned to purchase 3-year Reserved Instances (RIs) immediately after migrating to AWS, which raised concerns about oversubscribing to savings commitments for their lift and shift migration. Fischer sought budget flexibility, a means of continuous cost optimization, and the ability to reallocate capital to sustain subsequent innovation and growth. Plus, they wanted to avoid long-term lock-in to specific AWS services so the engineering and product teams had flexibility to innovate using new AWS services.
Solution
Costs were increasing for Fischer’s large test environment. Fischer was interested in a free health check of their AWS infrastructure that nClouds, a partner of nOps, was offering to discover the source of their rising costs. nClouds performed an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR) to assess Fischer’s critical workload. Based on the WAFR, nClouds provided Fischer with a detailed report, including suggestions on the business impact of their design decisions and guidance on the workload based on the core AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars. The report recommended remediations to improve cost optimization, security, reliability, performance, and operational excellence.
Among the cost optimization recommendations, one solution, in particular, piqued Fischer’s interest: ShareSave by nOps, part of its cost optimization program. After a brief discussion about ShareSave and its potential savings of up to 45% off Fischer’s existing Amazon EC2 On-Demand Pricing with zero risk to Fischer, the company signed up for SaveShare’s flexible, AI-driven, auto-pilot management of AWS commitments.
Teaming with nOps, Fischer Identity now has budget flexibility and asset optimization. The project has yielded numerous benefits:
“With ShareSave, you can save during and after a migration to AWS. It enables Fischer Identity to avoid the opportunity cost of being locked into a 3-year savings commitment and gives our engineers the freedom to innovate with new AWS services."
- Dan Dagnall, President and CEO, Fischer Identity
