Tangoe and Kubex Partner to Deliver Advanced Cloud and Kubernetes Optimization Through Tangoe One Cloud

Tangoe, a leader in technology expense management solutions for more than two decades, announced a new partnership with Kubex, a recognized innovator in Kubernetes, GPU and cloud optimization. The collaboration brings Kubex’s automated resource optimization engine into Tangoe One Cloud, expanding Tangoe’s FinOps-certified platform with deeper insights, smarter right-sizing recommendations, automation, and stronger governance across multi-cloud and GPU-accelerated environments.

Together, Tangoe and Kubex are delivering enterprises a unified, FinOps-ready platform that shows exactly where they are over-resourcing and overspending – and how to fix it.

While enterprises continue rapid cloud adoption, cost and infrastructure management complexity is growing even faster. IDC estimates that 20-30% of all cloud spending is wasted, due in part to idle resources, over-provisioning and misaligned consumption patterns. Kubernetes, which automatically deploys, scales and manages containerized applications, adds another layer of unpredictability, especially as organizations expand AI- and GPU-driven workloads.

“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.”

“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.”

A Unified Platform for IaaS, Kubernetes and GPU Optimization

Through their technology integration partnership, Tangoe One Cloud now incorporates the Kubex resource optimization engine to deliver continuous, automated recommendations that help IT, engineering, finance and procurement teams make better decisions together. Key capabilities include:

• Simplify and manage both Kubernetes and IaaS resources. Deliver ROI via money-saving resource and configuration recommendations across five major cloud delivery modes – AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud and Kubernetes – centralized in one platform with proper tagging, ownership and consumption context. The platform provides continuous monitoring and analysis of usage for optimization opportunities.​
• Smarter optimization for Kubernetes and AI workloads. As organizations scale AI/ML pipelines and GPU-intensive applications, Kubex’s engine analyzes millions of resource combinations to provide precise right-sizing guidance for Kubernetes clusters, GPU instances and containerized workloads.
• Automated cost governance and allocations. Daily alerts surface runaway costs, idle environments and misconfigured services. Tangoe automates the flow of invoices and cost allocations into enterprise finance systems to streamline approvals and chargebacks across cloud providers.
• AI-powered right-sizing recommendations. The combined solution evaluates workload patterns and cloud provider pricing schemas across more than one million potential combinations to reveal immediate savings without performance risk.
• Visibility into container environment health. Identifies risks and inefficiencies of container and node-level resource allocations to spot issues before they lead to downtime.
• AI Chat-based Agent. Combines Kubex’s optimization analytics with a chat-based AI assistant that makes the power of Kubex available to everyone. The Kubex AI Agent merges deep resource analytics with an interactive assistant designed to streamline decision-making and automation.

Opportunities for Channel Partners

Channel partners that already deliver Tangoe One Cloud or other Tangoe solutions can broaden their cloud optimization portfolio with these new capabilities. Strengthening their role as trusted advisors, partners can deliver Tangoe One Cloud into customer environments to help them:

• Identify and eliminate unnecessary cloud spend
• Build FinOps best practices into day-to-day operations
• Improve governance across multi-cloud and Kubernetes
• Guide AI and GPU workload optimization with reliable data
• Consolidate tools and drive faster time-to-value

These capabilities create new opportunities for partners to differentiate their services, deepen customer engagements, and expand value across the full cloud lifecycle.
