Granular cloud cost visibility ensures financial sustainability for AI-powered organizations

BOSTON, Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CloudZero, the global leader in cloud cost efficiency, is enabling organizations to gain unparalleled visibility into their AI spending, a critical need as AI adoption continues to expand. In the early stages of experimentation, businesses may write off AI costs as research and development, but as these initiatives mature, the costs tied to successful AI-driven products will significantly impact companies’ cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross margins. As pressure rises for companies to justify AI-related spending, robust cloud cost visibility will be essential for informed decision-making.

CloudZero helps customers maximize the profitability of their AI investments by providing the visibility required to track, optimize, and control expenses related to AI. By connecting AI spending to business outcomes, organizations can measure their return on investment (ROI), scale operations efficiently, and maintain financial accountability throughout the entire AI development cycle. With clear insights into costs and returns, businesses can make informed decisions that drive efficiency and ensure their AI initiatives successfully reach the market with a sustainable, long-term impact.

How CloudZero Delivers AI Cost Visibility

Understand AI Cost And Usage: CloudZero provides organizations with precise visibility into their generative AI costs. It supports data ingestion from all major cloud providers, including AWS, GCP, and Azure — as well as leading AI services like OpenAI, CoreWeave, and Anthropic. Additionally, CloudZero offers advanced features for tracking AWS AI spending, specifically for Bedrock and SageMaker.Granular Cost Allocation: AI projects often involve multiple teams and services, complicating cost allocation. CloudZero’s cost allocation engine addresses this by attributing AI spending to specific teams, services, and workflows. This level of granularity helps organizations pinpoint where resources are being consumed and ensure accurate cost tracking.Business Impact Analysis: CloudZero links spending to business outcomes through unit economics, enabling organizations to calculate the ROI of every dollar spent on AI. By capturing key unit metrics — such as cost per prompt, inference, or token — teams are empowered to identify inefficiencies, optimize cloud spending, and align costs with strategic goals.

Driving Financial Sustainability In AI

“The dirty little secret about AI is that while its potential returns are vast, without the right management, many investments turn into expensive mistakes rather than profitable innovations,” said Phil Pergola, CEO of CloudZero. “The CloudZero platform delivers the visibility and insights needed for companies to get the most out of their AI investments and to ensure a positive ROI. This is essential to unlocking its full potential.”

By offering a clear view of AI-related expenses, CloudZero helps companies move beyond experimentation to sustainable growth. The platform empowers businesses to:

Quantify the ROI of AI projectsReduce inefficiencies and optimize spendingInnovate faster without compromising financial health

Optimize To Innovate

“CloudZero has been a game changer for us in managing the rapidly growing costs of our AI initiatives,” said Pete Rubio, senior vice president of platform and engineering at Rapid7. “By providing deep visibility into our cloud spending and helping us optimize costs at a granular level, we can focus on scaling our AI solutions without worrying about runaway expenses. It’s not just about saving money — it’s about enabling innovation while maintaining financial accountability and control.”

CloudZero’s AI cost visibility capabilities establish a best practice framework for managing AI expenses. By helping companies refine their cost strategies, CloudZero ensures that AI-driven innovations remain both impactful and sustainable.

“Building scalable and cost-effective AI solutions is a top priority,” said Philip Tsai, vice president of engineering at Helm.ai. “CloudZero has given us the visibility we need to understand our cloud spend, allowing us to make data-driven decisions about where to optimize and scale. For a lean, fast-growing team with a dynamic compute profile in the machine learning space, CloudZero not only allows us to analyze and track costs efficiently but also ensures that our innovations remain sustainable as we grow.”

April 21, 2026

Employee-owned company expands services to provide embedded teams that protect uptime, manage continuous change, and support long-term data center performance.

BROOKFIELD, Wis., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As demand for data infrastructure continues to accelerate, CC&N is expanding its infrastructure support capabilities into data center environments. The Southeastern Wisconsin-based, 100 percent employee-owned company today announced the availability of its Data Center Day 2 Infrastructure Support services for mission-critical environments.

“Our Day 2 Infrastructure Support teams stay embedded in the environment, helping organizations manage change without compromising performance,” said Dan Witkofski, President of CC&N. “We focus on getting the details right so issues don’t surface later.”

While much of the industry focuses on data center construction and deployment, CC&N is building on its experience in those environments to support and maintain them once live, which includes ongoing operational support. Once infrastructure is installed, environments continue to evolve as systems expand, equipment changes and operational demands increase.

“At CC&N, we understand that the work doesn’t stop once a data center is up and running; we know that it shifts,” said Dan Witkofski, President of CC&N. “Our Day 2 Infrastructure Support teams stay embedded in the environment, helping organizations manage change without compromising performance. We focus on getting the details right so issues don’t surface later.”

CC&N’s Day 2 Infrastructure Support services provide embedded technicians who operate inside live data center environments as an extension of the customer’s team. Working within established workflows, ticketing systems and change management processes, these technicians help ensure consistency, accountability and precision across all infrastructure activities.

The service offering includes:

Support for moves, adds and changes (MAC)Troubleshooting of fiber, copper and rack-level connectivityProactive infrastructure maintenanceDisciplined labeling and documentation practices that preserve clarity and traceability over time

By combining physical infrastructure expertise with operational alignment, CC&N helps organizations reduce risk, improve response times, and maintain long-term system reliability.

“Day 2 support is about maintaining control in environments that are constantly changing,” Witkofski added. “We’ve long supported these types of needs for our customers, and now we’re bringing that same discipline and expertise directly into data center environments. Our teams bring the operational discipline and hands-on expertise needed to keep infrastructure organized, responsive and reliable as demands grow.”

CC&N’s approach is rooted in its employee-owned structure, where technicians take ownership of their work and remain engaged until issues are fully resolved. The company’s teams operate across hyperscale, colocation and enterprise data centers, supporting mission-critical environments where uptime is essential and precision matters.

As organizations continue to scale their data center operations, CC&N’s Day 2 Infrastructure Support services provide a structured, consistent approach to managing ongoing infrastructure needs without expanding internal headcount.
