Case Study: Proofpoint achieves six-figure public cloud savings with Cloudyn

Saving Six Figures on Public Cloud Services with Cloudyn

Proofpoint, a cybersecurity company running on AWS, was struggling to manage rapidly growing public cloud spend after multiple acquisitions left it with a fragmented and largely unmanaged cloud environment. The company needed better visibility into usage, amortized cost reporting for Finance, and an easy-to-use tool that could support different teams without heavy training.

Proofpoint implemented Cloudyn to consolidate cloud instances, improve accountability, and optimize public cloud usage. With Cloudyn’s tailored dashboards, detailed reporting, and support for Reserved Instances planning, Proofpoint achieved six-figure savings, eliminated underused resources, and gained the insight needed to guide product and spending decisions.
