Cost

Total visibility into infrastructure spend — before it becomes waste

Opticini Cost provides real-time and historical insight into infrastructure spending across local, hybrid, and cloud environments. It connects usage, configuration, and performance data to actual cost impact—so finance, IT, and engineering make decisions from the same source of truth.

This is FinOps-grade visibility, built natively into infrastructure monitoring—not bolted on later.

What Opticini Cost Does

Opticini Cost continuously tracks how infrastructure resources are consumed, allocated, and billed—then correlates that data with performance, health, change, and risk signals.

It answers:

  • Where is our money going?
  • What is underutilized or overprovisioned?
  • Which teams, apps, or environments are driving cost increases?
  • What changes caused a cost spike?

Core Capabilities

1. Unified Cost Discovery
  • On-prem infrastructure cost modeling (servers, storage, networking)
  • Cloud cost ingestion (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Hybrid environment normalization
  • Environment-based segmentation (prod, staging, dev, test)
2. Usage-Based Cost Attribution
  • CPU, memory, disk, and network cost mapping
  • Application-level cost attribution
  • Service and workload tagging
  • Team, project, and business-unit cost allocation
3. Waste & Optimization Detection
  • Idle and underutilized resources
  • Overprovisioned compute and storage
  • Zombie services and orphaned assets
  • Redundant environments and unused snapshots
4. Change-to-Cost Correlation
  • Cost impact of deployments and config changes
  • Spike detection tied to releases or scaling events
  • Drift-driven cost increases
  • Rollback validation (did cost normalize?)
5. Forecasting & Budget Guardrails
  • Trend-based cost forecasting
  • Budget thresholds and alerts
  • Anomaly detection for unexpected spend
  • What-if analysis for scaling decisions

Key Metrics Tracked

  • Cost per application / service
  • Cost per environment (prod/dev/test)
  • Cost per team or business unit
  • Utilization vs. spend ratio
  • Idle resource cost
  • Month-over-month and quarter-over-quarter spend
  • Cost anomalies and spikes
  • Optimization opportunity value ($)

Who It's For

Finance & FinOps teams

→ budget control and forecasting

Platform & Infrastructure teams

→ right-sizing and optimization

Engineering leaders

→ cost-aware architecture decisions

Executives

→ visibility into ROI and infrastructure efficiency

How It Fits Into Opticini

Opticini Cost doesn't operate in isolation—it is directly powered by:

Discovery

→ what exists

Health

→ what's working

Performance

→ what's being consumed

Configuration

→ how it's set up

Change

→ what was modified

Risk

→ what could go wrong

This creates true cost intelligence, not just expense reporting.

Outcome

Opticini Cost turns infrastructure usage into financial clarity—so every dollar spent is intentional, visible, and defensible.

Outcomes You Get:

  • Reduced infrastructure waste
  • Predictable and explainable cloud bills
  • Faster cost anomaly detection
  • Shared visibility between IT, engineering, and finance
  • Measurable savings tied to real actions
