Founded in 2016, Hystax helps enterprises take control of their cloud and AI spending — through transparency, automation, and the discipline of FinOps
Our Story
Hystax began its journey in 2016, founded by a team of experienced entrepreneurs, practitioners, and engineers. We set out to create a platform that would help businesses choose the right cloud — and make it both affordable and reliable.
With over a decade of cloud expertise, we built OptScale as an open-source FinOps platform. Released on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, OptScale has grown into a mature, community-backed solution trusted by hundreds of enterprises and a wide community of FinOps practitioners. It gives finance and engineering teams full visibility into cloud spending and the tools to optimize it — across AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba, and Kubernetes.
As enterprises moved beyond cloud cost management into the era of generative AI, we recognized a new and equally urgent challenge. AI sprawl was creating the same problems FinOps had solved for the cloud: uncontrolled spending, scattered tools, no governance, and growing compliance gaps.
So we extended OptScale to govern AI the same way it has long governed cloud spending. The product is the same OptScale our customers already know — now with a dedicated AI focus that brings together everything we learned from a decade of cost optimization with a new layer purpose-built for AI: an intelligent gateway, security guardrails, end-to-end analytics, and pre-defined agent roles with 20+ MCP connectors. The expansion into AI makes OptScale more promising and versatile than ever — one platform for both FinOps and AI Governance.
Our Journey
Hystax launched with Acura — a cross-cloud migration and disaster recovery platform that helps enterprises move thousands of VMs across AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, and VMware with zero downtime
OptScale launched as an open-source FinOps platform under Apache 2.0. Multi-cloud cost optimization with rightsizing, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba
OptScale extends FinOps capabilities to Kubernetes — bringing pod-level cost visibility, rightsizing recommendations, and namespace-based chargeback to containerized workloads
OptScale evolves to govern AI the same way it governs cloud. An intelligent gateway, security guardrails, end-to-end analytics, and pre-defined agent roles with 20+ MCP connectors
Our Vision
Starting a cloud migration without understanding what your resources will cost — or deploying AI agents without knowing what each query consumes — is wasteful. We've built our entire platform around a simple belief: every company deserves complete transparency and full control over its cloud and AI spending.
Through accelerating FinOps and AI Governance adoption, we help enterprises achieve operational excellence: predictable costs, measurable outcomes, and a clear path to scaling AI responsibly across the organization
Multi-cloud cost optimization across AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba, and Kubernetes — with rightsizing, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and dozens of other automated scenarios
An intelligent AI gateway, real-time security guardrails, full request tracing, and pre-defined agent roles — all with the same FinOps discipline applied to every LLM call and MCP interaction
