At Virtasant, we’ve always believed that the only metric that matters is outcomes — not activity, not recommendations, not reports. That philosophy shapes everything about how we approach cloud cost optimisation.
Our solution goes far beyond the basics, such as rightsizing underutilised resources and eliminating idle resources, and allows an organisation to truly understand the total efficiency of their technology footprint, telling them exactly how much they are actually using of every dollar of spend. From there, we give organisations details on not just the basics, but advanced optimisations including Kubernetes, GPU, and AI infrastructure, all tailored to the exact context of an organisation and its individual applications and solutions.
Having complete visibility and a detailed understanding of what to do in order to reduce spend is only half the battle. The real challenge is getting engineers to take action. This is where our holistic model, combining the world’s leading optimisation technology combined with our global team of forward-deployed engineers that work directly with organisations and their engineers, makes all the difference. We go beyond systematic recommendations to apply context, understand your priorities, and work directly with teams to implement the changes needed to maximize efficiency.
To do that at scale, we developed Helias — our proprietary FinOps and technology cost optimisation platform. Helias ingests cost and utilisation data in real time across cloud, on-premises, data warehouse, and AI workloads, and applies purpose-built AI agents to assess actual utilisation of each asset over time. That granularity is what allows us to calculate rightsizing opportunities with precision, rather than working from averages or estimates.
What sustains the savings over time is the “always on” nature of the platform. As new workloads are deployed, Helias tracks their utilisation patterns and flags optimisation opportunities continuously — not just at a point-in-time assessment. That’s paired with our forward-deployed engineers and FinOps experts, who work directly with client teams to drive the organisational change needed to make sure efficiency gains stick rather than erode as environments evolve.
