Tangoe, a leader in technology expense management, has partnered with Kubex, an innovator in Kubernetes, GPU, and cloud optimization, to integrate Kubex’s automated resource optimization engine into Tangoe One Cloud. This collaboration expands Tangoe’s FinOps-certified platform with advanced, continuous optimization capabilities across multi-cloud IaaS, Kubernetes clusters, and GPU-accelerated environments, helping enterprises reduce waste, strengthen governance, and improve cost efficiency.
As enterprises accelerate cloud adoption and scale AI-driven workloads, managing costs and infrastructure has become increasingly challenging. Kubernetes introduces additional layers of dynamism through auto-scaling and container orchestration, while GPU-intensive applications add further complexity. IDC estimates that 20-30% of cloud spending is wasted due to inefficiencies such as idle resources and over-provisioning.
“The reality is that most large enterprises now operate in a multi-cloud world with Kubernetes running business-critical applications, but that complexity has outpaced their ability to monitor and optimize it,” said Chris Ortbals, Chief Product Officer at Tangoe. “By integrating the Kubex resource optimization engine into Tangoe One Cloud, we’re giving organizations a single, FinOps-ready platform that shows them exactly where they are over-resourcing and overspending and how to fix it. It also gives enterprises a unified system to manage Kubernetes alongside traditional IaaS, something most FinOps and ITEM platforms still handle in silos.”
The partnership combines Tangoe One Cloud’s FinOps workflows with Kubex’s intelligent optimization engine to deliver continuous monitoring, precise recommendations, and automated actions. The platform supports all major cloud providers and centralizes insights with proper tagging, ownership attribution, and consumption context.
Capabilities include smarter right-sizing for Kubernetes clusters and GPU instances, automated detection of idle environments and misconfigurations, and AI-driven analysis of workload patterns against provider pricing to identify immediate savings without compromising performance. Container health monitoring helps preempt risks and inefficiencies at the node and pod levels.
“Customers want optimization that is continuous, automated and an integrated part of their infrastructure management stack,” said Chuck Tatham, Chief Marketing Officer of Kubex. “Pairing Kubex analytics with Tangoe’s FinOps workflows creates a powerful combination where engineering, finance and procurement benefit through a reduction in manual effort, reduced cost and a single point of resource truth. The combined solution helps enterprises take the guesswork out of Kubernetes, cloud and AI / GPU optimization while keeping performance exactly where it needs to be.”
An integrated AI Chat-based Agent merges Kubex’s deep analytics with conversational interaction, enabling teams to query insights, explore recommendations, and automate decisions more efficiently. Automated cost allocations streamline invoice processing and chargebacks, supporting enterprise finance systems and improving cross-functional collaboration.
Channel partners can leverage these capabilities to help clients eliminate unnecessary spend, embed FinOps practices, enhance multi-cloud governance, and optimize AI/GPU workloads with reliable data—all while consolidating tools and accelerating value realization.
The combined Tangoe One Cloud and Kubex solution is available immediately. Enterprises and partners can contact Tangoe for demonstrations, implementation support, and partner program information.
