Cloud Cost Optimisation
Cloud Cost Optimisation
Synapse helps organisations take control of infrastructure spend by placing every workload where it performs, costs and complies best. Through Adaptive Cloud, private, public and sovereign infrastructure are managed as one estate under a single accountable partner, so cost is something you decide rather than something you discover.
What it means
What cloud cost optimisation really means
Cloud bills rarely rise for one reason. Capacity gets sized at go-live and never revisited. Workloads land in public cloud because that was the strategy at the time. Resources lose their owner. Reserved commitments drift out of step with how the organisation actually consumes.
Optimisation is the discipline of finding those things and acting on them, continuously. It covers the commercial decision of where each workload should sit, as well as the technical work of tuning what sits there. The organisations that get this right treat cost as a design input alongside performance, sovereignty and compliance, reviewed as conditions change.
What we do
How Synapse optimises cloud cost across Adaptive Cloud
Synapse optimises cloud costs by looking at the whole infrastructure estate, not a single bill in isolation. We review where workloads sit, how capacity is committed, what is being consumed, and whether protection levels match business value, then turn that insight into practical changes that reduce waste, improve predictability and keep performance and compliance intact.
-
Infrastructure
We use owned data centres, connectivity and network services to give core infrastructure a clearer cost baseline. Instead of relying only on variable consumption, Synapse helps define the right monthly commitment for stable workloads, giving finance teams a figure they can plan around and reducing the risk of paying for capacity in the wrong model.
-
Private Cloud
For workloads where public cloud consumption creates unnecessary volatility, Synapse assesses whether Managed Private Cloud, Managed Hybrid Cloud or Sovereign Cloud would deliver better cost control. The aim is not to move everything, but to place the right workloads on dedicated infrastructure where performance, compliance and predictable pricing align.
-
Public Cloud
In public cloud, Synapse uses architecture, migration and FinOps discipline to find over-provisioned resources, idle services, unmanaged growth and misaligned commitments. We then right-size environments, align reserved capacity to real consumption and decommission what is no longer needed, so spend reflects actual business use.
-
Data Protection
Backup, Disaster Recovery and Cyber Recovery can become expensive when every system is protected in the same way. Synapse designs recovery around the value and criticality of each workload, helping you avoid over-protecting low-risk services while making sure critical systems have the right level of resilience.
-
Adaptive Cloud
Adaptive Cloud brings these levers together into one operating model. Synapse keeps reviewing placement, utilisation, commitments and protection levels as your environment changes, so optimisation is continuous rather than a one-off exercise triggered by an unexpected bill.
The Adaptive Cloud Company
One partner for private, public and sovereign infrastructure
Adaptive Cloud is how Synapse designs, builds and manages infrastructure across multiple environments. Each workload is placed where it performs, costs and complies best, then reviewed continuously as business, technical and regulatory conditions change.
For organisations under cost pressure, this means placement decisions backed by real numbers, predictable commitments where predictability matters, and a single partner accountable for the total picture rather than one line of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight Answers
Usually a combination of capacity sized at go-live and never revisited, resources without a clear owner, and reserved commitments that no longer match how you consume.
Optimisation is ongoing. Spend changes weekly, so decisions are made against what your environment is doing now, with monthly reporting rather than a periodic audit.
Sometimes. Some workloads cost less, perform better or comply more easily on private or sovereign infrastructure. Others belong exactly where they are. The assessment is what tells you which is which.
Private and sovereign infrastructure run on predictable monthly commitments agreed upfront, so the cost conversation there is about the right commitment rather than variable consumption.
Yes. It can be bought standalone, alongside Azure resale, or bundled with other managed services.
Most organisations begin with an assessment of current spend and what is driving it, alongside a view of where each workload sits today and whether that is still the right place.
