A Managed Service Provider (MSP) or a reseller of public cloud services faces many challenges in providing cloud instances proposals to end-users that reflect the real application resource demands with the most cost savings, and at the same time provide better revenue for the MSP.
Challenges facing MSPs
- Low margin of on-demand instances sales
- High margin of Reserved Instances sales but need tools to convince the end-users to commit
- The balance between revenues and end-user savings is hard to achieve without dedicated professionals
- Discover and justify on-prem data center migration opportunities (digital transformation)
- Protect from pure spot price competition
