“Everyone knows that the cloud provides reliability and has advantages in terms of speed. But when we talk about cloud management, things get a little complicated. If it is a small-scale infrastructure, it is possible to operate it directly, but it is not easy to manage dozens of cloud resources and IT infrastructure resources worth tens of millions of won per month .”
“OpsNow gives us an at-a-glance view of our cloud resources and costs. In particular, by laying the groundwork for introducing Reserved Instance and Savings Plans for cost reduction through OpsNow, we were able to reduce cloud costs by 25%. ”
– BKR IT Team Assistant Manager Choi Nam-young
Company Overview
BKR is a company that operates and manages around 400 domestic locations and franchises of Burger King, a global hamburger franchise. In addition to store operations, we enable domestic customers to enjoy Burger King conveniently and happily through the web, app, and external channels (delivery service, call center, etc.).
Challenge
In 2019, IT infrastructure resources operated by IDC were transferred to AWS. At the time, I was using cloud migration and database operation services from Bespin Global. While incurring costs of about tens of millions of won per month, we wanted to systematically and easily manage the growing cloud billing and AWS resources. In addition, as infrastructure costs continued to increase after the service opened, there was a challenge to lower them.
Solution
We proposed and introduced OpsNow while working on a cloud project with Bespin Global. Through cloud cost consulting, I learned that there are many areas where you can save depending on how well you manage it. Now, the person in charge can quickly grasp the status of the IT infrastructure directly through OpsNow’s dashboard. We are currently utilizing the enterprise version with benefits for asset, cost management and optimization.
Benefit
OpsNow responds intuitively and quickly while managing cloud resources and costs. In particular, the biggest advantage is the Relation Map, which visually expresses the connection between resources and allows you to understand the infrastructure configuration at a glance.
In a cloud environment, there are elements that incur costs even when resources are turned on. In fact, OpsNow quickly identified unused servers that were still on and shut them down, reducing unnecessary spending. It also saved money by reducing resources that were being overpaid.
Best of all, by using OpsNow, it became easier to check the current status of resources and costs, and we reduced costs by applying contract discounts such as Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. Through OpsNow adoption and Bespin Global’s cloud cost consulting, we actually saved about 25% .
