On-Premises Cost and Capacity Dashboard

Managing on-premises infrastructure costs can be complex without clear visibility. The On-Premises Cost and Capacity Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of capacity metrics across vendors and sites, helping organizations identify which business units, applications, groups, or locations consume the most resources and drive higher costs.

By defining unit costs for storage and computing, businesses can accurately calculate total infrastructure expenses based on actual usage. This empowers teams to optimize resource utilization, reduce unnecessary expenses, improve financial planning, and maximize ROI by aligning costs with business demand.

Auto-add child accounts for AWS

Managing multiple AWS accounts across business units, applications, and locations can be challenging—especially when optimizing costs manually in a FinOps tool. With Virtana Cost Management, you can now centralize cost optimization effortlessly without manually configuring complex accounts for multiple accounts. This ability significantly simplifies AWS cost optimization for organizations of any size, but especially for large enterprises.

Thanks to a StackSets integration, the CM tool can now automatically retrieve all AWS accounts, bringing key benefits:

  • Eliminates manual errors
  • Saves time with automatic child account imports
  • Removes the hassle of manually adding hundreds of accounts

Effortless cost optimization at scale—without the complexity.
