Case Study: a leading US-based media firm achieves 70% cost reduction with CloudFabrix AWS resource optimization

AWS Resource and Cost Optimization

CloudFabrix worked with a leading US based media firm managing a large AWS environment with 1,000+ resources and 150+ applications across six regions. The company was dealing with budget overruns, rising operational expenses, backlogged projects, and hidden security and compliance risks, with little documentation, inconsistent IP allocation, and difficulty identifying resource ownership.

Using CloudFabrix cfxHorizons for AWS resource and cost optimization, the firm gained multi-source monitoring, analytics, and automation across EC2, snapshots, storage, VPC, CloudFront, billing, and other AWS services. CloudFabrix helped uncover unused and under-utilized resources, identify top spend areas and EC2 reservation candidates, and automate remediation through Lambda, CloudFormation, and alerting workflows, resulting in a 90% reduction in unused/under-utilized resources, 70% lower spend over 18 months, and an 80% increase in utilization efficiency.
