Intel® Cloud Optimizer

Cloud-based infrastructure is enabling large corporations to be more agile with how they provision and deploy applications. Cloud allows organizations to rapidly access needed compute resources for any type of workload and service, from simple websites to complex enterprise applications. 

But FinOps teams are often left with the critical challenge of trying to achieve balance between actual resources needed for applications and spending.

In fact, most cloud resources are chosen by best estimates or guesses as to what applications need. But without clear guidance on matching the best cloud resources to the application, results can be wasteful due to over-provisioning, or performance is suboptimal due to insufficient resources.

When this happens over time, at scale, and across clouds, correcting and optimizing is a formidable challenge.

Intel® Cloud Optimizer by Densify automates the analytics that can optimize the choice of cloud instances for your applications and services giving you clear insight to quickly align performance and spending across your cloud estate.

The Densify cloud optimization solution ingests the historical behavior of your cloud infrastructure.  It combines advanced machine learning and analytics with deep knowledge of cloud service providers offerings.

It compares–at scale– the unique requirements of your software and workloads to all known CSP offerings and then recommends optimal instance choices across your cloud services to meet your individual goals, whether to achieve high performance low cost or a balance of the two.

To find optimal cloud solutions, Intel® Cloud Optimizer by Densify matches the types of software you’re running to the appropriate Intel technologies with within an instance that is designed to help accelerate your applications. For example, if you’re running an AI application built on TensorFlow or Pytorch densify will include in its recommendations the latest Intel CPUs with Intel® Advanced Matrix extensions to accelerate AI operations. If the workload runs encryption or compression algorithms densify recommends instances running Intel CPUs with Intel® QuickAssist Technology to accelerate performance and reduce latency.

Detailed reports reveal not only where instance selection supports performance and how you can save on spending, but also why these instances were selected for the maximum benefit to FinOps, the user, and the business objectives.

With deep knowledge of technologies, costs, and your applications, Intel® Cloud Optimizer by Densify not only delivers insight about accelerated performance for your software but speeds your selection of the optimal instances to meet operational and budget requirements across your entire cloud estate.

The service is available to qualified companies with the first year of service paid for by Intel.
