What is Apptio Cloudability?

Cloudability from Apptio, an IBM Company, is a cloud cost management and optimization tool that enables IT, finance, and business teams to optimize their costs and communicate the business value of the cloud. Cloudability is built to support the organizational adoption of cloud financial management - the process of bringing financial accountability to the scalable, variable, and distributed nature of the cloud.

Cloudability normalizes, and structures cloud billing and usage data from across public cloud ecosystems so that the user can actively manage spend and consumption to continuously improve the unit economics of cloud services, enabling teams to:
  • Fully allocate cloud spend, including containers and support charges, to ensure a full chargeback of cloud costs to the business.
  • Optimize cloud costs, leveraging rightsizing recommendations across major cloud service providers to reduce operating expenses and fund future innovation investments.
  • Make decisions with speed and confidence, enabling team ownership and accountability of cloud spend to better align cloud investments to business objectives.
  • Allocate shared costs, specialized technology and labor along with vendors to extend FinOps and accountability to the total cost of running cloud.

Apptio Cloudability Features

  • Supported: Visibility: Translates billing and usage data into a unified view to contextualize costs and govern cloud consumption.
  • Supported: Cost Optimization: Matches spend to needs, displays reservations and commitment based discounts, and identifies candidates for purchase and modification.
  • Supported: Efficiency: Continuously improves the unit economics of cloud with a shared understanding of costs and business value.

  • Cloudability gave us 10 times our return on investment within three months of implementing it. So right-sizing, finding zombie instances, closing accounts that were never used, that we didn't need. It paid for itself 10 times over.
