/ Azure Cost Evaluation
Measure what Azureneeds to ingest
Run Expanso close to selected data sources, then compare downstream volume and Azure spend against your existing baseline.
/ The problem
Where Azure data costs accumulate
Ingestion, storage, transfer, and compute costs vary by service, region, and workload.
Observability ingestion
Measure Signal
Identify logs and events required by alerts, investigations, and operational workflows.
Analytics volume
Measure Scans
Review the records and fields that downstream analytics actually use.
Regional transfer
Measure Movement
Map high-volume flows that cross regions or network boundaries.
/ The Expanso difference
Evaluate processing close to the source
Define a representative workflow, target connected nodes with labels, and measure outputs before changing production routing.
/ How it works
What to test
Use customer-owned baselines and acceptance criteria.
Source-side filtering
Selected Records
Test customer-defined filters and inspect each retained and rejected class.
Aggregation
Selected Summaries
Compare summaries with the raw records required by downstream consumers.
Routing
Selected Destinations
Verify destination behavior and failure handling before broader deployment.
/ Outcomes
Customer-specific evaluation
Results depend on workload, policy, Azure configuration, and service pricing.
Record source volume, current destinations, and current Azure cost.
Measure retained volume and validate downstream behavior.
Use observed results to decide whether and where to expand.
/ Why Expanso
Why evaluate Expanso for Azure
Near-source execution
Run data-processing pipelines on connected nodes close to where data is generated.
Declarative jobs
Define jobs with YAML and target evaluation nodes with labels.
Measured rollout
Validate a representative flow before changing a wider production path.
/ FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much will we save?
There is no universal savings percentage. Establish an Azure cost and volume baseline and calculate the observed effect using your own pricing.
What should we test first?
Choose one high-volume flow with clear downstream requirements and a reversible routing plan.
Will existing dashboards still work?
That must be verified during the evaluation. Compare alerts, dashboards, queries, and retained records against agreed acceptance criteria.

We’ll help define a bounded evaluation with customer-specific measurements.
