As cloud adoption increases, IT leaders recognize that cloud value can deteriorate if services aren't effectively monitored and managed. Many managed services providers offer FinOps as a separate practice with additional cost or deliver a single dashboard as a service. Protera integrates FinOps into our managed services with real-time reporting, a detailed monthly report customized to your landscape by our FinOps team, and proactive alarming to keep cloud costs under control.
