  • What is cloud cost optimisation?

    Cloud cost optimisation involves assessing your cloud infrastructure and seeing where savings can be made. It's closely related to performance monitoring. If your cloud isn't fit for purpose, you're getting less bang for your buck.


    A cloud consultant can take a close look at your infrastructure and make recommendations for improvement. The result: optimal performance at the best price you can get.

  • Should I switch providers?

    The answer to this question depends entirely on your specific infrastructure, needs and budget. It may be that another provider would be more cost-effective. On the other hand, it could be that a few surgical strokes will do the job.


    Your best bet is to get outside help from a cloud consultant who can assess your infrastructure, identify room for improvement, and make concrete recommendations.

  • What is compliance?

    Cloud computing is subject to industry standards and regulations. These are in place to ensure that sensitive data is processed and handled correctly. The compliance you need to follow will depend on where you're based.

  • What is the VMware SDDC stack?

    VMware is a market leader in virtualisation software. The SDDC stack is a suite of software that virtualises the essential components of a data centre (computer, storage and networking).

  • What cloud environments do you support?

    At Ascend, we're cloud-agnostic, meaning we support private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
