Managing Azure costs while ensuring performance and scalability can be a complex, resource-intensive process, especially when cost management tools are pieced together and used separately from monitoring solutions. To address this challenge, LogicMonitor is excited to announce cost-savings recommendations for Microsoft Azure compute and storage resources, simplifying cloud cost management with integrated insights.

Azure IoT Hub enables you to monitor on-prem devices down to the smallest temperature change and react accordingly from cloud device commands. But how does it work? What other features does Azure IoT have? And, most importantly, how much does it cost? Learn all you need to know about Azure IoT Hub from our expert guide.

"How can there be an extra 30% overhead in applications like Apache Spark that other optimization solutions can't touch?" That's the question that many Pepperdata prospects and customers ask us. They're surprised—if not downright mind-boggled—to discover that Pepperdata autonomous cost optimization eliminates up to 30% (or more) wasted capacity inside Spark applications.

Happy holidays! It’s that time of year when people brainstorm their New Year’s resolutions, and companies are laying out plans to hit the new year with a fresh cost management strategy in place. If you’re in the latter boat, check out these end-of-year wrap-ups that will help you start 2025 on the right foot, financially speaking. Enjoy!

So you’re an MSP supporting tens, hundreds or maybe even thousands of clients. Then there’s a good chance that you’re offering services for more than one cloud vendor. You may even have clients who are Multi-Cloud (using more than one cloud vendor).

Managing modern, complex IT systems manually is like navigating a vast, ever-changing city without a map, GPS, or road signs. Imagine driving blindfolded, relying solely on occasional radio updates (logs) about traffic jams (issues) and detours (system changes). Not only does this method slow you down, but by the time you react to a traffic jam, it’s already caused gridlock across the city. Worse, competitors zipping through the city with autonomous cars (AIOps) are faster and more efficient.

Enhances cloud cost management with CloudSpend Chargeback Businesses are empowered to scale at unprecedented levels. However, with this growth comes the challenge of controlling cloud costs. Among the various financial considerations, one practice often slips through the cracks: chargeback. While this might sound like just another accounting term, having a chargeback model is a cornerstone of efficient cloud cost management—yet it often remains untracked or underutilized.

Happy AWS re:Invent week, everyone! While we have some larger announcements coming out this week (keep an eye out), we’d be remiss if we didn’t take the time to also look back at what our teams have been working on over the past few weeks. While we didn’t have a stated theme for November, you will see that two of our updates revolve around building templates or examples to help make achieving your goals easier with CloudZero.
