Architecting & Workload Placement

Architecting & Workload Placement is the capability focused on designing and modernizing cloud solutions with cost-awareness at their core. Instead of simply "lifting and shifting" legacy infrastructure, this capability ensures that every workload is placed in the right environment, using the most efficient architecture to maximize business value without sacrificing performance or scalability.

Modernizing with Cloudaware Expert Services and Tools

Cloudaware moves beyond simple reporting by providing the expert guidance and automated managed services necessary to turn architectural theory into operational reality.

Partnering with the Cloud Enablement Team

Architectural decisions shouldn't be made in a vacuum. Cloudaware offers a dedicated Cloud Enablement Team to act as a strategic partner for your engineering and FinOps groups. This specialized team works directly with customers to design cost-efficient cloud architectures, assist with complex workload migrations, and provide expert guidance on modernization strategies (such as moving from VMs to serverless or containers). By leveraging their cross-cloud expertise, organizations can avoid common architectural pitfalls that lead to long-term financial waste.

Data-Driven Rightsizing Recommendations

Achieving the perfect balance between performance and cost requires constant adjustment.

Cloudaware provides automated Rightsizing Recommendations across your entire multi-cloud estate. By analyzing historical CPU, memory, and network utilization data, the platform identifies over-provisioned resources and suggests precisely sized alternatives.

These recommendations are integrated directly into your cost dashboards, allowing teams to see the immediate financial impact of resizing a workload before the change is even implemented.

Managed Patching as an Operational Accelerator

Operational overhead is a "hidden" cost of poor architecture. To help teams focus on high-value modernization work rather than routine maintenance, Cloudaware offers Patching as a Managed Service. By offloading the burden of patch management to Cloudaware’s automated systems and expert staff, organizations reduce technical debt and improve security posture. This managed service ensures that workloads remain healthy and compliant, freeing up your internal engineering resources to focus on architecting the next generation of business-critical applications.
