Case Study: Comtech Telecommunications Corp cuts $180K in annual cloud waste with Firefly

Comtech Telecommunications Corp cuts cloud waste by $180K a year with Firefly

Comtech Telecommunications Corp, a global communications technology company, faced challenges managing its rapidly growing and complex multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS and Azure. Manual processes and an overreliance on ClickOps were wasting valuable developer time, while cost optimization was a critical priority. This complexity was compounded by a major business consolidation, leaving the team struggling with inconsistent cloud management and a desire to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices using Terraform.

Using Firefly's cloud governance platform, Comtech automated the codification of its cloud assets, enabling complete inventory visibility and drift detection. The solution identified and remediated significant waste, such as unneeded EBS volumes being provisioned and left behind. This resulted in annual savings of $180,000 and recovered over 300 developer hours. Firefly provided the tools and training to establish a NextGen-CMDB and achieve greater IaC literacy, becoming an essential cloud control co-pilot for the company.
