ANALYTICS & REPORTING

IaaS Resource Dashboard Real Time Dashboard enables you to get a snapshot of real-time cloud usage and cost data of various resources. It gives you instant visibility into the resources that are being used or are idle, ownership of these resources and current cloud cost associated with these resources.

Recommendation Dashboard

The platform provides recommendations to optimize your cloud cost by identifying underutilized or unused instances/images/snapshots/database/IPs. By downsizing or turning off instances that have been forgotten or overlooked, ensures you donâ€™t end up paying for resources that are not in use. â€‹

Executive Dashboard Executive Dashboard tracks key cloud trends such as costs and resources in order to help customer oversee all of their cloud costs centrally.
