PS&C Group CloudBolt Cost Management Case Study

This case study details the implementation of the CloudBolt Cost & Security Management Platform (CSMP) by PS&C Group to optimize their Amazon Web Services (AWS) costs. The objective was to reduce operational overhead by effectively managing customer training and development environments. Following a two-day rollout, PS&C's Cloud division, Sacon, achieved significant cost reductions by removing unused services, rightsizing instances, and automating environment start-up and shutdown processes. The study outlines how CloudBolt CSMP enabled Sacon to shut down training and development environments after business hours, resulting in over 50% savings on running costs. The case study also highlights the benefits of cost control, budget alerts, and AWS resource cost estimation provided by the CloudBolt solution. Additionally, it discusses the challenges faced by PS&C in managing their expanding AWS environment and how the CloudBolt CSMP addressed these challenges effectively.
