Business value

Organizations are adding public cloud infrastructure to their on-premises virtual and private cloud environments as part of their digital transformation. With the shift to public cloud, the operational expenses are increasing, causing a shift in the balance of IT capital and operational expenses. With buyers of public cloud services throughout the organization, it is a challenge for IT and business owners to govern cloud costs and utilization.

With a single view of on-premises and public cloud infrastructure expenditures, TrueSight Cloud Cost Control enables you to track and analyze infrastructure costs and utilization, identify wasted spending, and forecast future costs. The ability to easily simulate migrations to the public cloud providers and compare on-premises and public cloud infrastructure costs helps you to run your applications on the most cost-efficient infrastructure.
