Optimisation Licensing Assessment
Optimise your license and compute costs with Digital Space before and after migration.
What is an Optimisation Licensing Assessment (OLA)?
Discover the ideal path to cloud migration and cost reduction with Digital Space’s AWS Optimisation and Licensing Assessment (OLA). This free program helps AWS customers evaluate and optimize their environments, minimize required instances, and boost efficiency. Analyze resource usage, third-party licensing, and application dependencies to make informed cloud decisions.
What can I expect from an OLA with Digital Space?
Rightsize Your Resources
Optimise the utilisation of your workloads with our tool-based discovery approach. Our tools provide insights into compute resources, helping you identify the optimal Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), or VMware Cloud on AWS instance sizes and types for each workload. Determine the ideal mix of on-demand and spot instances, Bring Your Own Licenses (BYOL) and license-included instances, as well as dedicated hosts and savings plans tailored to your environment.
Reduce Costs
Cloud workloads typically require fewer instances and licenses due to the cloud’s elasticity. Optimizing your cloud infrastructure is crucial for cost reduction, and an AWS OLA can increase license efficiency by 60%. Overprovisioning third-party licenses raises your total cost of ownership. Use Digital Space’s OLA recommendations to maximize value and configure instances to need fewer licenses. Adapt your on-premises licensing strategy for a smoother cloud migration.
Explore Flexible Licensing Options
Avoid unnecessary licensing costs with the insights from an Digital Space OLA. Model various licensing scenarios, including license-included or BYOL instances, to manage seasonal workloads and enable agile experimentation. A Digital Space OLA models dedicated and license-included environments, allowing you to pay only for what you use, maximising the value of your cloud compute and licensing expenses.
