DEX Cloud Cost Optimization

Cut Cloud Costs Without Compromising User Experience

Stratusphere™ UX empowers organizations to dramatically reduce Azure and overall cloud spend, while simultaneously enhancing Digital Employee Experience (DEX). As the first solution to bring "UX" to digital workspaces, Stratusphere UX provides unmatched visibility into the performance and efficiency of cloud-hosted, virtual, and physical desktops.

By capturing and analyzing granular metrics in real time, IT teams gain the insights needed to right-size cloud resources, eliminate waste, and align spending with actual user needs — without sacrificing productivity or satisfaction.

Data-Driven Cost Optimization for Azure, AVD, AWS & More

Stratusphere UX helps organizations take control of runaway cloud costs by:

• Right-Sizing Cloud Resources: Use real CPU, RAM, disk, and session duration data to eliminate overprovisioned Microsoft AVD instances and unnecessary compute tiers.
• Identifying Idle & Underutilized Machines: Spot machines with consistently low usage and reassign, downsize, or retire them to reclaim cloud budget.
• Avoiding Unnecessary Scaling: Leverage historical and trending data to schedule scaling based on true usage patterns — not guesswork.
• Enhancing Density: Use Stratusphere UX Process Optimization to reduce memory and CPU usage, enabling higher user density per host — lowering per-user cloud infrastructure costs.
• Minimizing Downtime Costs: Spot and resolve user-impacting issues before they generate tickets, overtime, or SLA penalties.

Simplify Migration Without Budget Overruns

Whether you're migrating to Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop or shifting to cloud-native apps, Stratusphere UX reduces migration costs and risks by:

• Pre-Migration Assessments: Identify which apps, users, and workloads are cloud-ready — and which are not.
• Post-Migration Validation: Ensure your new cloud deployment performs as expected and doesn’t exceed budget targets.
• Avoiding Overprovisioning at Launch: Use baselined metrics to avoid overbuilding the cloud environment during the transition phase.

Business Benefits: Cost-First Impact

• Reduce Azure Spend: Immediately lower costs by resizing VMs based on real usage data, not assumptions.
• Eliminate Waste: Identify unused or redundant cloud workloads, licenses, and apps.
• Accelerate ROI: Spend less time and money troubleshooting with precise diagnostics and actionable alerts.
• Maximize Investments: Extend the life of existing hardware and reduce the number of premium cloud resources needed.
• Enable Budget Forecasting: Use historical usage trends to predict and control cloud costs accurately.
