Case Study: Westcon-Comstor optimizes cloud spend with Microsoft Corporation Azure Cost Management

Technology distributor finds key to optimizing customers' cloud spend

Westcon-Comstor, a global technology distributor and Microsoft Cloud Service Provider, needed a better way to monitor, allocate, and optimize cloud usage and spend across customers and internal teams. As its cloud business grew, the company wanted improved visibility, more accurate forecasting, and tighter control over multi-cloud costs using Microsoft Azure Cost Management by Cloudyn.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Azure Cost Management by Cloudyn to give Westcon-Comstor and its resellers a single view of multi-cloud spend, custom billing, alerts, and detailed forecasting. The solution helped improve budgeting and reserved-instance planning, uncovered waste and even suspicious activity early, and kept development and test environments on budget.
