Case Study: Top 10 Pharma Company reduces Azure VM costs by 28% with Sedai

How A Global Top 10 Pharma Company Reduced Azure Virtual Machine Costs by 28%

Sedai helped Top 10 Pharma Company, a global top 10 pharmaceutical company in the healthcare industry, tackle the challenge of managing a large and complex Azure Virtual Machine environment. The company’s IT operations teams were stretched thin by the time required to continuously optimize hundreds of VMs across a diverse application portfolio, and they were relying on overprovisioning to keep workloads safe, which drove cloud costs higher than necessary.

Using Sedai’s automated optimization platform for Azure Virtual Machines, including AI-driven rightsizing and a copilot mode for approval and validation, the company was able to rightsize VM instance types safely and at scale. Sedai reduced Azure VM costs by 28% and cut the time required for rightsizing by more than 90%, while also identifying that 61% of apps were optimized and delivering an estimated annual savings of $262,787.
