Rackspace partners with Ternary to deliver value to Google Cloud customers

“Ternary is a very well-thought-out cost management platform for GCP—one of the best, from what I’ve seen in the market, and from a feature set standpoint. Ternary is also a very good relation to have overall, if you’re in the GCP business.”

The Linux Foundation partners with Ternary to drive operational efficiency

“The Ternary team has been great to work with. From the early days of contract discussions to providing product feedback and requests, they act as an extension of our team. Being able to partner at that level is really beneficial to us.” Our partnership with Ternary has been successful from an ROI standpoint, because we don’t have to invest in hiring a full-time team for FinOps.”

Decisions uses Ternary for a single source of truth across AWS, GCP, and Azure
