Business challenge
In late 2023, Blaize encountered a significant challenge with growing cloud waste and rising AWS budgets. This highlighted the urgent need for precise resource planning and effective cost management. In the blockchain sector, optimizing infrastructure is crucial for maintaining profitability and delivering value to clients.
Solution
To address rising AWS costs, Blaize partnered with Umbrelly to optimize their cloud expenses. This collaboration led to an average monthly savings of 13.74% and enabled Blaize to efficiently reallocate unused capacity within Umbrelly’s billing organization.
Although Blaize initially considered managing their cloud resources internally, the process was time-consuming and resource-intensive. The partnership with Umbrelly arrived at the perfect moment, helping Blaize save costs and strengthen their market position.
Two-click onboarding
In just 30 minutes, the Blaize team completed a quick and secure onboarding process with Umbrelly’s expert, ensuring minimal disruption to operations. This swift setup allowed Blaize to start saving immediately, preventing further budget waste.
13.74% monthly AWS savings
