IBM Cloudability

IBM Cloudability is built to support the organizational adoption of FinOps—the cultural practice and operational process of bringing financial accountability to the scalable, variable, and distributed nature of cloud and related costs. Its enterprise-grade FinOps features enable IT, finance, and business teams to optimize cloud, AI and Kubernetes costs and communicate the business value of these investments.

Cloudability normalizes and structures billing and usage data from across public cloud ecosystems. Its capabilities enable teams to:

• Fully allocate cloud spend, including containers and AI related costs, and support charges—enabling chargeback across the business and continuous improvements to cloud unit economics

• Estimate workload costs, build budgets and create driver-based forecasts that surface variance details while tracking spend to plan

• Automatically optimize cloud costs via rightsizing and commitment recommendations, allowing users to reduce operating expenses and fund future innovation investments

• Make decisions with speed and confidence, powered by team ownership of cloud spend

• Allocate shared costs, like specialized technology, labor and vendors, to extend FinOps and accountability to the total cost of running cloud

• Support FinOps organizations in Federal agencies via FedRAMP authorized IBM Cloudability for US Federal

• Enable Managed Services Providers to ingest, structure, and customize billing data via IBM Cloudability MSP

Cloudability enables practitioners with the capabilities they need to drive FinOps forward— with financial accountability, optimized cloud spend and a roadmap for FinOps maturity.
