This on-demand webcast is the first in a series of 6 workshops in our ‘Trim the Cloud Fat’ series. The workshop explores the factors that contribute to high cloud costs (some obvious, some not), ways to identify unused and underutilized resources, and how to map usage to users across multiple cloud platforms.

Rising Cloud Costs
● Cloud makes it easy to spend money
● End users don’t understand the impact of their provisioning choices
● No visibility or governance across clouds
● Bills come after the fact and are a big surprise
● Mistakes are very expensive
● Small overages add up over time

So How Much Money Are We Talking About?
4
● Estimated average of up to 30% cloud waste
● Estimated IaaS/PaaS cloud spend around $20B,
growing fast (as much as 36% CAGR)
● Do the math – that’s up to $6B in savings opportunity
just for IaaS/PaaS
● As cloud adoption accelerates, the problem just gets
bigger and bigger
● Maybe why Cloud Analytics market is estimated at
$7.5B today, growing to $23.1B in 2020
