SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Industry-First Offering Enables IT Managers and C-Level Executives to Allocate Costs and Optimize Deployments Across Multiple Business Units
Cloudyn, the leading solution for cloud monitoring and optimization, today announced the general availability of Cloudyn Enterprise Chargeback Edition, a new offering that squarely addresses the increasing challenge facing enterprise companies and their growing need to regain control of and optimize their cloud deployment. This first-of-a-kind solution is aimed at enterprise finance and IT groups to help them map cloud costs to their deployments at the departmental level so they can more effectively optimize their cloud activities. Cloudyn Enterprise Chargeback Edition offers large companies one view across multiple business units into cloud usage, cost drivers, and resource allocation, providing actionable recommendations for enhancing utilization, increasing performance, and reducing spend.
C-level executives of large enterprises, with several line-of-business units and complex cloud deployments, currently lack insight into departmental, workgroup or user-based cloud activities. This lack of insight makes it exceedingly complicated for a company's finance group to apply appropriate chargebacks and accurately identify areas most in need of cost and performance optimization. Cost allocation and chargeback activities can be particularly time-consuming tasks, as they require finance teams to decipher reams of cloud vendor billing data to identify from where the costs originated.
Key product features include:
- One view across multiple business units - Provides top-level management with across-the-board insights and an aggregated view of their entire cloud deployment. Areas in need of optimization are easily identified.
- Customized access and chargeback self-serve - Management can assign business units with unique views to specific cloud accounts relevant to them so they can manage and optimize their own usage and cost.
- Cost entity definition - Finance teams and/or IT/unit managers can breakdown and attribute costs to any relevant business unit, cost center or other "cost entities" (e.g. projects, teams, stacks within a business unit, etc.). They can also determine exactly which business units are driving cloud costs and how.
"With all of the varying pricing models for multiple cloud vendors, we understand that
cloud cost management is a significant challenge for our enterprise customer base," said Sharon Wagner, CEO of Cloudyn. "Therefore, we're really pleased to make available this industry-first solution that offers clear insights into how enterprises can spend less on their cloud investment."
