Submission declined on 2 December 2025 by Theroadislong (talk). This draft reads like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promotion or marketing. Drafts that are exclusively promotional may be deleted without notice. Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove: promotional language: see Words to watch; personal commentary: opinions or direct addresses to the reader; informal language. Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject. If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use. This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Theroadislong 8 months ago.

• Comment: I would not call some of these sources "in-depth coverage"; one source doesn't even mention the subject and the LinuxFoundation page doesn't seem to cover the subject much either. Both of the other sources call themselves blogs which are unreliable. Rambley ^{(talk / contribs)} 09:19, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Hystax is a software company that develops cloud computing infrastructure tools, including FinOps (financial operations) platforms and disaster recovery software. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, the company's products are used to migrate workloads between cloud providers and manage cloud infrastructure costs.

Hystax was founded in 2016 in Sunnyvale, California. The company initially developed software for cloud migration and backup in hybrid cloud environments.

In 2022, the company released **OptScale**, a cost-management platform, as an open-source software project under the Apache 2.0 license. Following this release, Hystax joined the Linux Foundation as a general member.^[1]

OptScale is an open-source FinOps platform designed to analyze cloud spending across multi-cloud environments (such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud). It creates a "map" of cloud resources to identify idle instances and budget overruns.

In 2025, technical analysis by CloudForecast listed OptScale as a primary open-source alternative for AWS cost optimization, noting its focus on engineering-led cost tracking.^[2] Industry comparisons by Chaos Genius placed the software in the context of the "Open Source FinOps" ecosystem, comparing its feature set to proprietary alternatives like Datadog.^[3]

Acura is a software product for disaster recovery and live cloud migration. The software replicates workloads from on-premises or cloud environments to target platforms to allow for failover during IT outages. It supports replication to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and OpenStack.
