VENDOR OPTIMIZATION IN AGGREGATED ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Technologies are generally described for systems and methods effective to optimize vendors in a cloud computing environment. In an example, bundled services can be de-aggregated and a hierarchical tree can be generated showing the relationships between the service providers and infrastructure providers. When itemized bills are received from the service providers, the hierarchical tree can be used to match items from the itemized bills to specific infrastructure providers. A transaction report showing all the services rendered by the infrastructure providers can then be sent to the respective infrastructure providers to take advantage of discounts and bulk rates. In another example, a set of infrastructure providers that provide the services at the lowest cost can be determined, and the service providers can be configured or requested to switch to that set of infrastructure providers.
