Arrow simplifies Scalair cost management
Arrow worked with Scalair to create a detailed breakdown of costs, simplifying cost management and billing.
The Challenge
Scalair has a long history of successful complex projects addressing migration of IT infrastructure from on premises and legacy infra to public cloud. Through its expert team, they analyze, propose, and deploy the best migration strategy to get a secure and well architected platform in public cloud. They also deliver managed services over the cloud platform of their clients with a special focus on automation deployments through Infrastructure as Code and security.
As their customer grew, the complexity of managed platforms increased. Covering complex AWS organizations deployments, support for well architected frameworks, streamlining account migrations and optimizing cost through a billing management together with a powerful cost analytics process.
They had a team of experts in cloud architecting, support and security, but found that expertise in the entire lifecycle of AWS cloud delivery was key to achieving an excellent and market leading position to help their customers. They started by improving cloud delivery and cost & billing management.
For one of their largest customers, Scalair has proposed an evolving support strategy to meet the group’s new business challenges:
1 - Consulting on the platform architecture
2 - Implementation of a high availability environment (multi-sites)
3 - Securing the platform with carrying out penetration tests
4 - Security management by performing vulnerability audits
As overcoming these challenges is complex, Scalair needed to ensure optimized cost management per environment was guaranteed to avoid distracting their team from the architecting and implementation tasks.
The Solution
Scalair, became an Arrow partner some years ago, so knew the well skilled Arrow sales and technical team could help. Scalair decided to discuss the challenge with Arrow who, after analysing various available options, recommended the generation of tags on which the Arrow billing team worked to provide Scalair with a detailed breakdown of monthly costs as required.
