Nicus Amazon Redshift Integration
Pull financial datasets from Redshift for ITFM, or allocate cluster costs.
Amazon Redshift stores pre-modeled financial datasets Nicus accesses for ITFM. Redshift’s own cluster and Serverless RPU consumption costs are also available for IT cost modeling and allocation.
What This Integration Enables
- Aggregated and transformed financial and operational datasets
- Business activity and volume metrics stored in Redshift
- Cluster and Serverless (RPU) consumption and cost data
- Reserved Node and committed capacity data
- Customer, product, and service-level datasets for cost allocation
Common Use Cases
- Accessing pre-modeled financial datasets for ITFM from Redshift
- Incorporating Redshift cluster and Serverless costs into ITFM models
- Business volume metrics from Redshift used to drive cost allocation
- Reserved Node utilization tracking for commitment management
Flexible Integration Options
Amazon Redshift is AWS’s cloud data warehouse available in both provisioned Cluster and Serverless configurations. Organizations use Redshift to aggregate, transform, and model financial and operational datasets. Serverless consumption is metered through Redshift Processing Units (RPUs), while provisioned clusters offer Reserved Node pricing for committed capacity.
Nicus uses data from Amazon Redshift in two ways: as a source of aggregated and transformed financial datasets, and as a source of Redshift’s own cluster and usage costs for IT cost modeling.
FAQs
Does Nicus work with Amazon Redshift?
Yes. Nicus uses data from Amazon Redshift as a source of transformed financial datasets, and incorporates Redshift’s own infrastructure costs into ITFM cost models.
What are Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) and how do they relate to ITFM?
RPUs are the compute unit for Amazon Redshift Serverless. RPU-based cost data can be incorporated into Nicus to allocate Redshift Serverless costs to business units and services.
