Sharing cost analysis and spending reports in CloudAware is easy. From scheduled email PDF or Excel reports to mobile notifications via Chatter, CloudAware will deliver the reports to the users you want in whatever format necessary.
Blended and Unblended Rates
AWS resellers and cloud service brokers depend on detailed billing files from Amazon Web Services. These files are difficult to parse due to their complexity and size often requiring resellers, CSBs and large AWS consumers to invest heavily in building in-house applications just to process AWS invoices. CloudAware not only supports "giant" billing files but also provides advanced analytics, customization and invoicing based on the data derived from detailed billing files.

Waste Detection
CloudAware automatically detects waste in your accounts. For example if CloudAware notices that an EBS drive has been unattached for over 10 days, cost management module will issue an alert indicating the amount of potential savings. There are over 100 waste seeking policies. Using Trusted Advisor policy designer, users can customize policies to increase or decrease number of days a resource is considered idling before an alert is issued. User can also create new policies altogether. On average CloudAware detects more than $40,000 in annual savings after observing an account for at least two weeks.
Advanced Report and Dashboards Editor
Using force.com extremely powerful report builder, CloudAware customers can create very specific account and application reports. Any attribute of any AWS object can be used to create filters for detailed billing dashboards.
