Born from necessity and built for scale

Our team has been at the helm of FinOps since its inception. We are early leaders from Cloudability and CloudHealth, operators of cloud environments at scale, and executors of large workload migrations.

Our story

Our passion is building intuitive software that naturally encourages the right behaviors through shared understanding and democratization of data.

Ternary is a purpose-built team of FinOps thought leaders who are addressing the most sophisticated challenges in the space. Just as we embraced FinOps from the start, we embrace the challenges our customers face, with curiosity and excitement.

We have operated some of the biggest Hadoop clusters on record; migrated large workloads to AWS, Azure, and GCP; and seen firsthand the pain of overshooting cloud budgets. Our software is built on the insights derived from our experience managing and solving the challenge of operating in the cloud at scale.
