Virtana announced the availability of a free version of Virtana Optimize, its cloud optimisation solution.
The Free Tier offering complement the Premium version of Virtana Optimize, allowing for frictionless customer adoption. It lets new customers self-service onboard and immediately gain access to the benefits of bill analysis, cost vs utilisation, rightsizing, and idle resource recommendations. Virtana Optimize has reduced cloud costs by 30 per cent after just 10 days of use. Free Tier users can connect one cloud provider data source and will be provided with up to 25 recommendations.
“IDC’s research shows that across all industries, cloud services represent an increasing share of enterprise digital infrastructure utilisation,” said Mary Johnston Turner, IDC Research Vice President for the Future of Digital Infrastructure Agenda research program.

“Many organisations struggle with the cost and complexity of ramping up new services while still supporting existing mission critical applications and workflows. Taking advantage of freemium solutions for evaluating infrastructure cost tradeoffs is one way organisations can get started on this transformational journey,” Johnston added.

The solution provides ongoing cloud cost optimisation with a unique focus on performance, risk, and cost.
Free Tier Access Includes:
- Bill Analysis
- Cost Savings Dashboard
- Cost vs Utilisation Reports
- EC2/VM Rightsizing Recommendations

“Everyone is thinking about getting to the cloud but more than 70 per cent of companies are not sure how to get there cost-effectively,” said Alex Thurber, CRO for Virtana. “This Free Tier will help people who may have gone into the cloud without a clear plan find their way to cost savings and smarter configurations.”
