6fusion is a dataservices company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina that enables a Utility Approach to IT—standardizing the economic measurement of IT infrastructure and cloud services, providing IT economic transparency to the global market, and helping end-users make better informed infrastructure decisions. With 6fusion’s UC6 Platform, organizations can view and manage the Total Cost of Consumption (TCC) of their business services in real time and achieve a higher level of cost optimization, forecasting accuracy and business agility. 6fusion uses a patented single unit of measure of IT infrastructure called the Workload Allocation Cube (WAC) that provides a common view of IT consumption, agnostic of underlying technology or vendors. 6fusion enables baselining, benchmarking and budgeting of business service consumption across execution venues, and supports dynamic cost optimization strategies.
