Utilize commitments effectively, unlock new Azure savings, and maximize your long-term purchasing strategy
Azure savings plans (SPs) and Reserved VM Instances (RIs) commitments enable you to achieve significant discounts over pay-as-you-go list pricing by committing to spend over a one- or three-year period. Archera helps you maximize your use of these native commitments with our free platform, and extend their utility and flexibility by enabling you to transform them into short-term, Insured Commitments with a commitment term as brief as 30 days. After delivering immediate savings, we work with you to build a forward-looking Azure purchasing strategy so you can continue to optimize your costs as your usage evolves and grows.

Minimize Azure pay-as-you-go spend with short-term Insured Commitments
Archera attaches a Moneyback Guarantee to Azure savings plans and RIs, converting them into short-term, Insured Commitments — Guaranteed Savings Plans (GSPs) and Guaranteed Reserved Instances (GRIs) — which enable you to get native commitment-like savings on usage that won’t reliably continue for a year or more. Use GSPs and GRIs to unlock savings on spend that would otherwise be pay-as-you-go, and pay Archera a small insurance premium only when you save. If you are no longer able to utilize the underlying Azure commitment, Archera will rebate you for losses.
