Technology Case Study
How a rapidly scaling SaaS platform reduced cloud costs by 40% and achieved complete infrastructure visibility across AWS and Azure.
SaaS Platform
TechCorp is a rapidly scaling SaaS platform providing cloud-based collaboration tools for enterprise teams. Their infrastructure spans AWS and Azure with thousands of cloud resources supporting mission-critical applications.
With cloud costs growing 25% quarter-over-quarter and no visibility into resource utilization, the company needed a solution to optimize their cloud usage without impacting performance.
TechCorp's cloud infrastructure was growing faster than their ability to manage costs, creating significant financial and operational challenges. Key issues included:
Cloud costs growing 25% quarter-over-quarter with no visibility into what was driving the spending or how to optimize it.
Inability to track resource utilization made it impossible to identify waste or right-size resources effectively.
Manual cost tracking across multiple cloud accounts and regions was time-consuming and error-prone.
Inability to forecast and control spending led to consistent budget overruns every month.
TechCorp implemented Sphere to gain complete visibility into their cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. The implementation included:
Automated discovery across AWS and Azure with real-time inventory and tagging for complete visibility.
Cloud cost analysis and optimization recommendations to identify waste, implement right-sizing, and reduce over-provisioning.
Automated scheduling for non-production resources to reduce costs during off-hours and weekends.
Real-time anomaly detection to identify unusual spending patterns and potential cost issues.
Automated budget alerts and forecasting to prevent overruns and enable proactive cost management.
Custom dashboards for leadership to track cloud spending, utilization, and optimization opportunities in real-time.
Within 12 months of implementing Sphere, TechCorp achieved significant cloud cost optimization and infrastructure improvements:
Reduced cloud costs by 40% through automated optimization, right-sizing, and waste elimination.
Achieved 100% visibility into all cloud resources across AWS and Azure with real-time tracking.
Eliminated budget overruns with automated forecasting and proactive cost management.
Improved resource utilization by 85% while maintaining application performance and user experience.
