Flexential has launched two professional services designed to help enterprises reduce and optimize public cloud spending and strengthen security across their hybrid IT environments.
The FinOps for Public Cloud service draws on Flexential's extensive DevOps experience and deep understanding of cloud architectures to help organizations reduce cloud spending by analyzing, proposing, and implementing cost reductions and cost management controls. In addition, the Security and Optimization Program, available to customers moving into Flexential colocation and cloud environments, enhances cyber resiliency by uncovering security gaps, mitigating migration risks, and streamlining resource allocation.
"Companies are grappling with rising cloud costs and cybersecurity risks while struggling to maintain the technical expertise needed to address these challenges," said Brian Gero, SVP, Core and Strategic Engineering at Flexential. "Our services deliver immediate value by giving businesses the expertise to slash unnecessary spending and fortify security without stretching their internal resources. By collaborating directly with our Flexential experienced professionals, your technical teams will be in position to implement impactful, lasting solutions to these challenges."
The FinOps for Public Cloud service enables companies to control public cloud spending through a systematic approach to cost management. Organizations work directly with Flexential's cloud engineers to understand public cloud costs, analyze spending patterns, and implement targeted controls. Flexential then creates cross-functional alignment for cost governance to provide clear visibility into cloud expenses and enable accurate forecasting across the hybrid IT infrastructure.
The Security and Optimization Program strengthens an organization's security posture and cyber resiliency. Flexential's proven track record in security and infrastructure, and unique field-tested processes provide low-risk, low-downtime migrations. The service provides customer teams with a detailed analysis of cybersecurity gaps and resource allocations, with specific recommendations for security improvements, ransomware defenses, compute optimization, workload resources, and future modernizations.
