Break free of savings plan and RI term limitations
AWS and Azure native savings plans (SPs) and reserved instances (RIs) require a one or three-year commitment to deliver significant savings over on-demand rates. Archera Insured Commitments can be purchased within your own payer account to deliver savings similar to native SPs and RIs, but cut the commitment term down to as few as 30 days.
Unlock new cloud purchasing strategies and savings
Archera GSP and GRI Insured Commitments augment the utility of standard commitments with flexible terms that enable you to:
- Save on consumption that is too short-term to be covered with native commitments
- Strategically choose between higher savings and greater flexibility
- Be rebated for underutilization in the case that you no longer need a commitment that cannot be transferred or converted
- Defer Insured Commitment premiums interest-free if your organization is running entirely on cloud service provider (CSP) credits
Control all Insured Commitment purchases
Use Archera’s free platform to build customizable purchasing plans that utilize only native CSP commitments — or choose to include GSPs and GRIs, each showing the total savings of the commitment with Archera’s insurance premium included. When you purchase a GSP or GRI, Archera transforms an underlying native commitment into a short-term Insured Commitment. You will only be assessed a GSP or GRI insurance premium if the commitment generates savings.
Automatic rebates for underutilization losses
After holding an Insured Commitment for its 30-day or one-year term, Archera’s Moneyback Guarantee automatically reimburses you for losses in the event you no longer fully use the underlying CSP commitment. Archera doesn’t just credit you against future costs — you are immediately made financially whole.
Proven in the public cloud and reinsured by third parties
Hundreds of organizations rely on Archera’s unique commitment insurance to deliver ongoing savings and flexibility using techniques that are approved by your cloud service provider. Your organization’s Insured Commitments are guaranteed and reinsured by third-party policies, providing additional layers of protection.
