Cloud Optimisation Services - Core and Premium options to suit your business

Core Optimisation Service

Each new Trustmarque Azure customer will be added to our CloudCheckr portal and will be able to log in and view stats on costs, resource utilisation, recommendations on cost reduction, security and compliance. In addition, Trustmarque will provide a data-based report with recommendations and remediation on a monthly basis.

Premium Optimisation Service: An enhanced, bespoke service with 1:1 support

As well as all the features of the Core Service, the Premium option includes an initial optimisation service to “right size” the Azure environment based on the initial month end report. This will be discussed with you to ensure all change management and configurations are agreed. A dedicated Cloud Solutions Architect will be assigned to your organisation to present and discuss CloudCheckr reports on an ongoing basis. Monthly proactive optimisation activities will be discussed, costed, agreed and then implemented to ensure optimal Azure consumption and cost management. The Premium Service can also assess AWS environments and on premises VMware environments.
