PRESS RELEASE: CloudMonitor Now Available on Microsoft AppSource to Lower Your Cloud Costs

SAN FRANCISCO, California, United States — February 21, 2022 — Data-Driven, a Microsoft Gold Partner, today announced the availability of CloudMonitor (https://cloudmonitor.ai), a cloud cost-optimization and recommendation engine for Microsoft Azure, on Microsoft AppSource (https://appsource.microsoft.com/en/product/power-bi/data-drivenai1581501556049.cloudmonitor-powerbi-app), an online cloud marketplace providing tailored line-of-business solutions.

CloudMonitor tracks your cloud consumption and looks for cost-saving opportunities, so you only pay for what you need. Companies can use CloudMonitor to find oversized resources and unused services and establish best practices based on AI-driven real-time utilization patterns. This helps reduce wastage and avoid “bill shock,” while increasing ROI in the cloud.
Unlike other tools on the market, CloudMonitor lives inside of the customer’s Microsoft Azure environment, so sensitive cost data does not leave the organization. It extends the Azure Portal Cost Management tool with a suite of customizable cost analytics Power BI and includes a Microsoft Teams bot that surfaces recommendations and alerts directly into the development workflow, which in turn drives accountability for costs.
The flexible cost group security model allows the grouping of resources by project, business unit or cost centre which makes it easier to allocate chargeback.
Rodney Joyce, Managing Director of Data-Driven, said, “We built CloudMonitor to help our customers better utilize their cloud resources in the enterprise by removing the disconnect between the resource creators and the bill payers to reduce wastage, improve accountability and lower costs without stifling the power of cloud innovation.”
Toby Bowers, General Manager, Business Applications Group, Microsoft Corp., said, “We’re happy to welcome CloudMonitor to Microsoft AppSource, which gives our customers access to the best solutions available from our extensive partner ecosystem. Microsoft AppSource offers partner solutions such as CloudMonitor from Data-Driven to help customers meet their needs faster.”
