Why Nova

Why Teams Choose NOVA for AWS FinOps

Cost tied to real system behavior: We don’t treat cost as a reporting problem. You see how architecture, scaling, and usage patterns drive spend, so decisions reduce cost without affecting performance. 

Continuous control: We don’t step in after costs spike. You get ongoing visibility and intervention, so issues are caught early and don’t repeat across environments. 

Built for AWS-native environments: Run efficient workloads on AWS services like EC2, RDS, Lambda, and Kubernetes. We help teams choose the right setup so infrastructure matches usage and avoids unnecessary cost. 

Clarity during high-pressure transitions: During migrations or VMware exits, cost decisions get harder. We help you avoid rushed tradeoffs, manage overlapping costs, and move forward with a plan you can defend. 

Measured Outcomes From Cost-Aware AWS Delivery

We helped Brightfield cut Oracle licensing costs and move to AWS. Our team also replaced their monolithic system with a modern architecture that allowed faster, more frequent feature releases.

What is FinOps for AWS workloads?

FinOps is the practice that aligns cloud spending with business goals across engineering and finance. It connects usage data with business goals, so decisions improve cost visibility and accountability.

With this shared approach, your teams understand where money goes and who owns it. This creates a shared FinOps foundation where cloud cost ownership is clear, and decisions around resource utilization are made with both performance and cost in mind.

How is NOVA’s approach different from one-time cloud cost cutting?

We don’t treat cost optimization as a one-time task. At NOVA, we focus on ongoing cost management built around visibility, optimization, and accountability. That means continuous monitoring, budgeting, and governance.

Our goal is to reduce your cloud waste while keeping your systems stable. This approach supports long-term cost savings and prevents the same issues from coming back later.

Can NOVA help if we are already on AWS and still struggling with rising costs?

Yes. Most teams we work with are already running on Amazon Web Services but lack clear cost control.

Our team can help you understand your cloud environment, identify cost drivers, and fix issues causing rising bills. This includes improving cost analysis, setting up cost-control guardrails, and aligning spending with business goals so your growth doesn’t lead to unpredictable costs.

What does NOVA actually deliver for AWS cost control?

We deliver hands-on support across your cloud infrastructure. This includes CLA review, real-time monitoring, behavioral risk review, and targeted improvement work.

Our team also applies tools like Exostellar for runtime cost control. After that, we support ongoing cloud cost management through governance, optimization, and post-migration support so your environment stays efficient in the long run.

Does NOVA support both engineering and finance stakeholders?

Yes. FinOps is not just a technical problem, so we work with engineering, finance, and leadership teams together. Our approach improves cost transparency so everyone understands the shared cloud costs of the whole company and how they relate to business performance.

This helps teams align on decisions, avoid conflicts, and manage cloud spending in a way that supports both delivery and financial goals.

Can NOVA help after an AWS migration is complete?

Yes. Post-migration support is a key part of our work. After cloud migration, we help teams optimize instance types, improve usage patterns, and apply cloud governance.

This ensures your new environment runs efficiently as it grows, so costs don’t creep up as usage changes.

What AWS services does NOVA work with in cost-aware modernization and migration?

NOVA works across the AWS ecosystem, including EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS, and more. For migration and planning, we use tools like AWS Migration Hub, Database Migration Service, and Application Migration Service.

We also use services like CloudFront, WAF, and Shield. These tools help us design efficient architectures and support cost optimization across your cloud computing environment. 

Does NOVA recommend VMware on AWS as the target solution?

No. Our recommendation is to move directly to AWS-native services instead of VMware-based solutions. This reduces complexity and avoids long-term licensing risks from VMware and Broadcom. By focusing on native services within the AWS marketplace and platform, we help teams build systems that are easier to manage, scale, and optimize over time. 

Can NOVA help reduce VMware-related cost pressure during AWS migration?

Yes. We support teams during transition with Bridge Support and Asset Relief through our partner ReluTech.

This allows you to maintain current systems while planning changes without rushing decisions. We also help model future costs, so you understand how your cloud infrastructure will behave after migration, which reduces risk and financial pressure during the move.
