Case Study: Altron Karabina achieves 93% cost savings and enhanced cloud security with NetApp (CloudCheckr)

Altron Karabina creates a competitive advantage in cloud managed services

Altron Karabina, a South African managed services provider, helps customers modernize through cloud migrations and long-term digital transformations. Facing uncontrolled Azure spend, security and compliance blind spots, and the need to give customers ongoing visibility and control of their cloud environments, the company sought a tool to prevent “bill shock” and support the entire cloud journey.

Altron Karabina licensed and white-labeled CloudCheckr (now Spot by NetApp) to deliver fast, comprehensive cost, security, and compliance analytics. The platform cut a batch-process cost by 93% (about $500 to $37), uncovered 118 inactive SQL instances, enabled rapid setup of internal billing and tagging visibility, and helped build customer trust that led to expanded cloud engagements.
