Columbus Global

Improve your cost control, security, and business continuity in the cloud

Gain control over your Azure costs and ensure business continuity and security

The Columbus Azure Managed Service is designed to help you improve cost control, security, and business continuity in the cloud.

  • We address excessive cloud spending by setting budgets, optimizing resource usage, and helping with reserved instances. As a result, you can save several thousand each month.
  • Security is prioritized through best practices implementation and continuous monitoring of the security level, with immediate action taken if it falls below agreed baselines.
  • To ensure business continuity we help establish backup policies, monitor and test backups, and ensure recovery time objectives align with the continuity plan.
  • Service in detail:

    Scoping: This initial phase involves a thorough examination of your Azure services across maintenance, backup, cost, and security. We identify which resources will be maintained, what needs backing up, where costs can be optimized, and which security practices will be evaluated.

    Baseline Setting: In this stage, we establish a clear starting point for each area. We evaluate the current performance of your Azure services, define the parameters for effective backups, analyze your spending for cost-saving opportunities, and assess your security practices to provide a security rating.

    Operations: The final step is the active management of your Azure resources. We conduct ongoing maintenance to ensure optimal performance, oversee your backup strategy for data safety, implement cost-saving actions to optimize your spending, and work on enhancing your security measures based on the initial assessment.
