DATASHEET
One organization using CloudBolt discovered many pre-existing servers they
didn't realize were still on and active. The organization was using Amazon
Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, and the CloudBolt
platform discovered all of them. They had multiple accounts, which would have
required having about 10 web browsers open to view all the servers.
IT admins automatically set up a 60-day expiration date on all discovered virtual
machines. Then they emailed the entire company, stating that if anyone had a
VM they needed to claim it, or else it would be removed in 60 days. The result
was a large cost-savings for the organization, not to mention visibility into their
environment that the organization did not have before.
CloudBolt brings multiple accounts and cloud platforms into
a single portal, enabling admins to apply business logic based
on user groups and assign server expiration dates based on the
requirements of the specific groups. CloudBolt also provides
the ability to schedule downtime on resources, allowing admins
to shut down nonessential VMs over a weekend to reduce their
spend and bring servers back online Monday morning.
The platform's self-service interface also allows end users to track estimated
and actual costs of resource usage.
