Description
SQL Managed Instance, a member of the Azure SQL family, is a sophisticated cloud database solution that offers extensive compatibility with the SQL Server engine, dating back to SQL Server 2008, while providing the advantages of a fully managed platform as a service. By utilizing tools such as Azure Migrate or Azure Data Studio, you can confidently transition your custom and vendor applications to Azure, alleviating concerns about software updates, upgrades, or end-of-support scenarios. Since SQL Managed Instance operates on the SQL Server engine, it consistently incorporates the latest features and functionalities, ensuring your database remains current. Remarkably, it can fulfill your mission-critical needs up to five times faster and at a cost savings of up to 93 percent compared to AWS RDS. In various benchmarks covering both transactional and analytics workloads, SQL Managed Instance has demonstrated superior performance. Embrace the opportunity to accelerate your application modernization by leveraging the advanced capabilities of managed SQL Server in the cloud, empowering your organization to thrive in a competitive landscape.
Description
The Cloud Repatriation Analyzer (CRA) assesses workloads in public cloud environments like AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean to determine the viability and cost-effectiveness of transitioning to bare-metal hosting.
Key Features:
Cross-Cloud Resource Mapping: Utilizes read-only APIs to seamlessly integrate and visualize assets spanning compute, storage, databases, and networking.
Intelligent Waste Detection: Analyzes a month's worth of usage data to uncover inefficiencies such as ghost storage, inactive instances, idle load balancers, and potential egress leaks.
Migration Planning Blueprinting: Aligns cloud workloads with appropriately sized bare-metal servers (e.g., Hetzner, OVH), providing a detailed comparison of Hybrid and Full Migration strategies.
Cost & Return Analytics: Evaluates monthly operational expense reductions, initial setup investments, break-even periods, and projected Total Cost of Ownership over one, three, and five years.
Comprehensive Executive Reporting: Generates migration plans that can be exported, outlining specific resource actions, server performance metrics, and dependencies on managed services, ensuring stakeholders have a clear understanding of the migration process. Additionally, this analysis empowers organizations to make informed decisions regarding their cloud strategy.

Cloud Repatriation Analyzer operates on a transparent, transactional pricing model of $249 USD per cloud account analyzed across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and DigitalOcean. Built around a friction-free pay-per-report structure, CRA eliminates recurring SaaS subscriptions, long-term retainers, and hidden fees. Organizations pay strictly on demand for the specific infrastructure environments they evaluate, with seamless, localized payment processing handled via Stripe Hosted Checkout.
Each $249 report unlocks a complete, print-ready Cloud Repatriation Blueprint that quantifies the exact financial viability of migrating to dedicated hosting. This includes automated idle resource detection, direct bare-metal hardware mapping to providers like Hetzner and OVH, net monthly OpEx savings, break-even payback timelines, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) projections across 1-, 3-, and 5-year horizons. Connecting cloud credentials for initial infrastructure ingestion and idle resource detection is completely free, enabling technical leaders to evaluate their baseline footprint before unlocking full migration analytics.
