How to Keep Your Enterprise Cloud Costs in Line with Your Expectations

One of the most common challenges organizations face after making the move to the cloud is controlling costs.

The speed and flexibility provided by cloud environments comes with a tradeoff, namely, the ease with which cloud usage can go unchecked.

This makes having visibility into cloud environments critical. Organizations need a way to consistently monitor their usage and storage so that they can continually optimize their cloud environments and quickly identify—and remedy—anomalies as soon as they happen.

In this edition of Tech We Like, we’re highlighting a powerful tool organizations can use to gain all the visibility they need to keep their cloud spend in line with their expectations.

That tool is CloudHealth.

A single platform for an array of insights

CloudHealth gives organizations complete visibility into their cloud and container costs, usage, and performance so they can deliver their products and services faster without breaking the bank.

With CloudHealth, IT and engineers have a single platform for:

• Cost management across multiple clouds
• Continued optimization of usage
• Security and governance controls
• Proactive compliance management and alerting

At a granular level, CloudHealth allows an organization to organize their resources across clouds into groups that make sense for their business. 

These groups make it much easier to see which applications, teams, or resources are costing more than they should be.
