OLA + BLUE SPACE
Optimization & Licensing Assessment
Stop Guessing. Start Saving.
Get a crystal-clear view of your compute and licensing costs. We combine the AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) with our Blue Space Independent Software Vendor (ISV) analysis to deliver total estate visibility.
Many organizations are overpaying for the cloud because they aren’t taking advantage of all of the cost optimization measures that are available. You may be running unused servers, paying for oversized instances, or carrying expensive licensing costs you no longer need. You may also have 3rd party software (ISV) spend that could be channeled through the AWS marketplace to drive better service discounts. Without accurate data, and a comprehensive plan, migration and modernization can become expensive guesswork.
A standard AWS OLA provides visibility into your current infrastructure, utilization and licensing costs. Deep Blue goes further. With our Blue Space offering, we add analysis of your overall software spend to leverage AWS marketplace benefits to reduce your overall cloud cost.
This means we don’t just analyze servers—we examine your entire third-party software ecosystem to identify licensing gaps, consolidate vendors, and uncover opportunities to leverage AWS Marketplace incentives.
Key Outcomes:
- Right-Size with Precision:Identify the exact compute resources you need based on real utilization data.
- Slash Licensing Costs:Determine the most cost-effective licensing strategy (BYOL vs. License Included).
- Unlock Blue Space:Gain instant visibility into your ISV spend to consolidate vendors, unlock marketplace benefits and reduce your overall ISV and cloud costs.
