Case Study: Digital Guardian achieves 45% improved AWS resource efficiency while expanding services with Virtana (CloudWisdom)

Digital Guardian increases AWS resource usage efficiency by 45% while expanding services

Digital Guardian, a cloud-delivered data protection company that delivers SaaS DLP and analytics on AWS, struggled to get a simple, complete view of its global AWS resource usage using native tools, tags, and in-house solutions. To solve visibility and efficiency gaps, Digital Guardian engaged Virtana and adopted Virtana’s CloudWisdom product.

Virtana’s CloudWisdom provided immediate, daily visibility and executive-ready reporting into resource consumption and utilization, enabling right-sizing and cost controls. The result: Digital Guardian increased AWS resource usage efficiency by 45% while EC2 instances grew from 650 to 800, and the team reduced CPU allocation and SQL licensing costs by identifying over-provisioned SQL Server instances — benefits they attribute to both the CloudWisdom product and Virtana’s supportive team.
