ParkMyCloud is a cost-effective, lightweight app that allows AWS users to pay only for the computing resources they’re actually using by scheduling on/off times (“parking”) for their idle cloud computing services. As a result, customers can reduce cloud computing costs by 20% or more, in just 15 minutes. ParkMyCloud is SaaS-based, so there’s nothing to download and no installation required. For example, an organization spending $5,000 a month on their AWS infrastructure can easily save 21% a month using ParkMyCloud’s parking calendars.That’s $12,731 a year in hard savings with a payback of just 6 weeks. Inspired by the success of “consumerized” business tools such as Box and Zendesk, ParkMyCloud is part of a fast-growing breed of simplified, purpose-built SaaS applications designed to solve one problem (cloud cost reduction) in a simple, inexpensive manner.

In our words: The listing pitched ParkMyCloud as a lightweight SaaS app that let AWS users schedule on and off times, or 'parking', for idle cloud servers, claiming savings of 20 percent or more set up in 15 minutes. It gave a worked example based on a $5,000 monthly AWS bill and likened itself to simple business tools such as Box and Zendesk.
