Testimonials
With Archera’s “robot” automation handling RDS reservations, the team can secure three-year discounts on a 30-day commitment. This flexibility allows Platform9 to be aggressive with cost management, cutting expenses without constant oversight.

I think Reserved Instances or general bulk discounts on Amazon are fairly challenging … our volumes and our loads change fairly significantly … for us to go out and buy a one-year subscription for a Reserved Instance is something thatwe had never really considered because, what we thought was overloaded six months ago is now extremely underutilized today, and we would have just been stuck with that commitment for a year.

Scott Tsuchiyama
Director of Engineering, Spec

Full transparency: there have been other vendors that have reached out to me before … I never moved off of Archera because I think there are a lot of things about Archera that gives us the wins that we need and the savings that we are looking for with very little effort on our part. We implement Archera and then, from there, Archera is running in the background in order to get us those savings — those things are very, very valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the demo?
In your 30-minute demo, we’ll learn about your cloud usage, current commitment strategy, and savings goals. Then we’ll show where Archera can help you identify savings opportunities, increase commitment coverage, and reduce underutilization risk.
Do we need to make engineering or application changes?
No. Archera focuses on rate optimization and commitment management. You do not need to modify your infrastructure, rewrite applications, or change how your workloads run.
How is Archera different from native AWS or Azure commitments?
Native commitments usually require 1- or 3-year terms, which can be risky if usage changes. Archera offers 30-day Insured Commitments with deep savings rates and a Rebate Guarantee if usage drops.
Is Archera really free to start?
Yes. Archera’s core commitment management platform is free to start, with no SaaS fee and no percentage taken from your native RI or Savings Plan savings. You only pay when you choose products like Insured Commitments or Advanced Reporting.
Do you take a percentage of our savings?
No. Archera does not take a percentage of savings from your native RIs or Savings Plans. Your team can manage native commitments through the free platform without a savings-based fee.
Do we give up control over cloud purchasing decisions?
No. Archera does not take over your billing account or make hidden purchasing decisions. Your team keeps visibility and control while using Archera to model, monitor, and manage savings opportunities.
What if our cloud usage changes after we commit?
With Insured Commitments, Archera’s Rebate Guarantee helps protect your team if usage drops and a commitment becomes underutilized.
