Stop cloud waste. Start saving.
Your cloud bill should work as hard as you do. Most businesses carry 20–30% avoidable spend through idle resources, oversized workloads and storage that sits untouched.
G&J Warrington Infrastructure finds the leaks, protects performance and gives your team a clear plan for Azure, AWS or a hybrid estate.

A cleaner estate gives budgets room to grow.

How we find the fat
The review starts with evidence, then moves into changes your engineers can verify. Cost comes down without turning performance into a gamble.
Rightsizing workloads
We compare CPU, memory and network demand against provisioned capacity, then recommend a safer size for each VM, database and container.
Typical opportunity: 10–25%
Idle resource removal
Unused disks, unattached IPs, forgotten snapshots and stopped test environments get an owner, a date and a decision.
Typical opportunity: 5–15%
Storage tiering
Frequently used data stays close to the application. Older logs and archives move to lower-cost tiers with retention rules.
Typical opportunity: 15–40%
Reserved capacity
Stable usage is matched to reserved instances or savings plans. We test the term against forecast demand before you commit.
Typical opportunity: 15–35%
Autoscaling rules
Scaling thresholds are checked against real demand so services add capacity during peaks and release it when traffic falls.
Typical opportunity: 10–30%
Spot capacity
Batch jobs and fault-tolerant workloads are assessed for spot capacity, with interruption handling tested before adoption.
Typical opportunity: 30–70%
The right saving is the one your service can carry. We document the performance trade-off before any change goes live.
