Case Study: Synopsys improves cloud cost control and visibility with Harness

Synopsys Boosts Cloud Visibility and Cost Control with Harness Cloud Cost Management

Synopsys, a global leader in electronic design automation and application security, was seeing cloud infrastructure and spend grow rapidly as it scaled through mergers and acquisitions. The company struggled with limited visibility into cloud resourcing—especially Kubernetes clusters and workloads—and inconsistent cloud cost data across teams. Synopsys turned to Harness Cloud Cost Management to address these challenges.

With Harness, Synopsys gained unified cloud cost visibility and optimization across AWS and Google Cloud Platform, using customizable BI dashboards, Kubernetes cost recommendations, and cost anomaly detection to help CloudOps and FinOps teams act proactively. Harness also enabled developers to see and use cost guidance directly in their workflow, improving cost control and decision-making. Synopsys plans to expand use of Harness Intelligent Cloud AutoStopping to cut idle resource spend, with the solution expected to reduce costs by up to 75% in pre-production environments.
