The Challenge

Dufry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, including the acquisition of several companies. As a result of IT environments being merged, it was increasingly difficult for the company to maintain visibility of costs,  especially for its cloud resources.

The Solution

Dufry wanted to set up a cost/profit calculator process to structure its existing cloud resources, and sought the ability to provide reports and cost optimization recommendations to management on a regular basis.

Cloudreach onboarded Dufry to our Infrastructure Reliability managed services offering, including Cost Reliability. With our expertise around billing and pricing models offered by cloud service providers, a reliable toolset and a team of financial experts, we developed tagging policies that helped us uncover unused and unnecessary cloud resources. 

Cloudreach delivers a monthly cost report to Dufry on current cloud spend and deviations from the previous month. The report also includes a separate section with cost optimization recommendations for the company’s  AWS infrastructure.

The Outcome

Dufry now has clear visibility of AWS cloud spend and a deeper understanding of how individual resources impact costs. For example, our Cost Reliability service identified a 50% spike in spending over a three-month period for a cloud storage service and  ultimately reduced costs by 66%.

Cloudreach continues to work with Dufry to ensure its AWS infrastructure is optimized for cost, security, reliability, availability, and scale.
