The Premier Cloud
Assessment Platform
Software licensing costs can be 3 or more times the cost of all other cloud costs combined. Optimize 24×7 is Evolve’s proprietary built Cloud Assessment Platform used to give our customers a complete Total Cost of Ownership Analysis when considering moving workloads to the public cloud
Integration with other industry-leading tools
While there are many great tools in the industry that will collect server utilization, very few also look at software licensing impact. It is impossible to provide an accurate TCO without taking into account software licensing. Optimize 24×7 has built in integration with most of the industry leading assessment tools to enhance their data outputs and give customer’s a complete TCO
Public cloud instance mapping
It’s Evolve’s experience that while many of the industry leading assessment tools capture excellent utilization data, they still greatly oversize Public Cloud instances. On average, Optimize 24×7’s Instance Mapper further optimizes compute costs by an additional 42% compared to already “rightsized” assessment tool outputs. Optimize 24×7 also takes into account software licensing impact when performing instance mapping
License-optimized host stacking
Customers can save a considerable amount of money by using existing licensing investments when moving to the cloud. However, it is essential that “Bring Your Own License” rights are validated and that technical feasibility are both taken into account. Optimize 24×7’s host stacking functionality ensures that every host model created is not only technically feasible but also license optimized to the fullest
Software licensing reconciliation & optimization
Optimize 24×7 has the ability to import Microsoft license entitlement data to help customers understand their BYOL rights to different cloud options as well as detail that their new licensing footprint will be. On average, Optimize 24×7 is able to reduce SQL cores that need to be licensed by 55% and Windows Server cores needed to be licensed by 77% when moving workloads from on-premises to the public cloud
Amazon Web Services TCO
Optimize 24×7 provides customer the ability to understand their sizing and cost models for EC2 Shared Tenancy, EC2 Dedicated Hosts, VMware Cloud on AWS and SQL on RDS Managed Database. Optimize 24×7 provides a complete TCO, detailing Compute, Network & Storage costs for all models, as well as comparing software licensing cost & impact between BYOL of existing Microsoft Volume Licensing vs AWS License Included
Google Cloud Platform TCO
Optimize 24×7 provides customer the ability to understand their sizing and cost models for GCP Shared Tenancy, GCP Sole Tenancy & Google Cloud VMware Engine. Optimize 24×7 provides a complete TCO, detailing Compute, Network & Storage costs for all models, as well as comparing software licensing cost & impact between BYOL of existing Microsoft Volume Licensing vs GCP License Included
VMware on Public Cloud TCO
VMware has platform offerings for all three major public clouds, each with their own unique licensing nuances. Optimize 24×7 takes in account those licensing nuances along with technical feasible when creating models for VMC on AWS, GCVE on GCP & AVS on Azure
Azure TCO
One aspect that is consistently overlooked when performing Azure TCOs is the increase in volume licensing cost when moving from an on-premises host base licensing model to a per VM model in Azure with a 16 core minimum per server. Optimize 24×7 gives you a complete & accurate Azure TCO including Compute, Network, Storage and potentially increased licensing cost impact
Modernization Cost Savings
Software licensing is very expensive. One of the greatest long term advantages when moving to a non-Microsoft public cloud is the ability to start distancing you from these costs. Optimize 24×7 provided a detailed direction view on the cost saving potential when moving to cloud native alternatives
