Mantis Genius

See Everything Your Cloud Is Hiding

Cloud environments grow faster than most organizations can document, secure, or optimize. Mantis Genius analyzes your infrastructure, cost, security, and configuration data to create a complete picture of what is running, where risks and inefficiencies exist, and what actions will deliver the greatest business value.

From Cloud Visibility to Measurable Improvement

Mantis Genius establishes a complete baseline across your cloud environment, then helps turn that intelligence into action. Start with a Comprehensive Cloud Assessment and expand into the optimization, modernization, protection, and managed services your environment requires.

Comprehensive Cloud Assessment

Most organizations cannot produce a complete, current picture of everything running across their cloud environment. The Mantis Genius Comprehensive Cloud Assessment analyzes infrastructure, cost, security, and configuration data in one automated process, giving technology leaders a clear baseline for action.

What Blue Mantis covers

Complete infrastructure visibility: Inventory resources, accounts, regions, configurations, and dependencies.
Cloud cost analysis: Identify spending patterns, expensive resources, anomalies, and optimization opportunities.
Security posture review: Surface critical findings, exposure, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps.
Prioritized action plan: Connect every finding to a specific remediation or modernization step.

Cloud FinOps

Cloud spending becomes difficult to control when organizations lack visibility, ownership, and consistent governance. Cloud FinOps helps translate Mantis Genius findings into an ongoing operating model for understanding consumption, reducing waste, and aligning cloud investments to business priorities.

What Blue Mantis covers

Cost visibility and allocation: Understand where cloud spending occurs and who owns it.
Optimization opportunity identification: Uncover waste, underutilized resources, and rightsizing opportunities.
FinOps governance: Establish policies and processes for managing cloud consumption.
Continuous cost improvement: Track optimization progress as the environment changes.

GPU-as-a-Service

AI initiatives introduce new challenges around compute availability, operating complexity, and cost governance. Blue Mantis GPU-as-a-Service provides access to managed GPU infrastructure, observability, modernization expertise, and FinOps services without requiring organizations to build and operate specialized GPU environments internally.

What Blue Mantis covers

Managed GPU capacity: Access infrastructure designed to support demanding AI workloads.
AI infrastructure modernization: Align compute platforms to workload, performance, and business requirements.
GPU observability: Improve visibility into utilization, performance, and capacity.
GPU FinOps and governance: Control AI infrastructure consumption before it becomes the next cloud-spend problem.

Backup-as-a-Service

Reliable data protection requires more than scheduled backup jobs. Backup-as-a-Service helps organizations protect physical, virtual, public cloud, Microsoft 365, and supported SaaS workloads through centralized policy management, monitoring, validation, and recovery support.

What Blue Mantis covers

Managed data protection policies: Establish and maintain backup requirements across supported workloads.
Encrypted and immutable storage: Protect backup data in transit, at rest, and against ransomware modification.
Automated backup validation: Verify backup health and identify failed jobs before recovery is required.
Recovery and remediation support: Assist with restoration, job failures, retention, and recovery operations.

Cloud Health & Optimization

A one-time assessment establishes the baseline. Ongoing Cloud Health and Optimization helps ensure security, cost, infrastructure, and operational improvements continue as the environment changes. Regular reviews give leadership a consistent view of progress, emerging risks, and investment priorities.

What Blue Mantis covers

Continuous environment visibility: Identify infrastructure changes and configuration drift.
Security and risk trending: Monitor posture improvements and emerging exposure.
Ongoing cost optimization: Uncover new inefficiencies as consumption patterns change.
Executive-level reporting: Track environment health, roadmap progress, and investment priorities.

How Mantis Genius Works

What Happens at Each Step

Step 1

Establish Secure Access

Your team runs one scoped script within the cloud environment. Mantis Genius establishes the permissions required for the assessment without creating a permanent connection or requiring extensive manual discovery.

Step 2

Analyze the Environment

Mantis Genius reads infrastructure, cost, security, and configuration data across the environment. The assessment identifies resources, spending patterns, exposure, compliance gaps, and operational improvement opportunities.

Step 3

Generate the Report

The assessment produces a comprehensive report with an infrastructure inventory, cost analysis, security posture review, and prioritized recommendations. Every finding maps to a specific action, not a generic observation.

Step 4

Disconnect and Take Action

Mantis Genius disconnects when the assessment is complete, leaving no standing access behind. Blue Mantis experts review the results with your team and help translate the findings into a practical remediation and modernization roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mantis Genius?

Mantis Genius is an AI-powered cloud assessment and optimization platform from Blue Mantis. It analyzes infrastructure, cost, security, and configuration data to create a complete picture of the cloud environment and identify prioritized opportunities for remediation, optimization, modernization, and ongoing management.

What is included in the Comprehensive Cloud Assessment?

The assessment includes an infrastructure overview, resource and account inventory, cloud cost analysis, security posture review, compliance findings, and prioritized next steps. Every finding maps to a specific action so your team can move from visibility to a practical improvement roadmap.

What access does Mantis Genius retain after the assessment?

None. Access is scoped specifically for the assessment, and the agent operates in a read-only manner. It does not write, modify, configure, or delete resources. When the report is complete, the agent disconnects and leaves no standing connection behind.

How is Mantis Genius different from native cloud advisory tools?

Native advisory tools typically provide recommendations within an individual cloud platform. Mantis Genius creates a broader view across infrastructure, cost, security, and configuration data and connects those findings to a prioritized remediation plan. The report is also reviewed with Blue Mantis experts who help translate technical findings into business and operational actions.

What happens after the assessment?

Blue Mantis reviews the findings with your team and helps prioritize next steps based on risk, financial impact, operational requirements, and business objectives. Those next steps may include security remediation, cloud optimization, modernization, Cloud FinOps, GPU-as-a-Service, Backup-as-a-Service, or ongoing Cloud Health and Optimization.
