Episode #20 – Conversation with Ryan Mangan, Founder of EfficientEther

Posted on August 5, 2025

Tune in to Episode #20 of ControlUp Community Radio, where host Douglas Brown welcomes Ryan Mangan, founder of EfficientEther, a cutting-edge platform dedicated to optimizing cloud costs through AI technology. With nearly 20 years of expertise in user computing, Ryan brings deep insights from his extensive work with RDS, VMware, and Azure Virtual Desktop.

Ryan shares his journey and the motivation behind launching EfficientEther, highlighting how organizations face increasing complexities and waste in managing cloud expenditures due to subscription-based models. EfficientEther addresses these challenges head-on with two flagship products: EtherAssist and EtherInsights. EtherAssist boosts IT productivity by swiftly addressing technical queries, enhancing compliance, and streamlining documentation. EtherInsights simplifies intricate FinOps data, providing actionable cost-reduction strategies and even calculating environmental impacts through user carbon footprints.

Ryan also dives into the technical aspects of EfficientEther, emphasizing their proprietary AI solutions developed within Azure and their strong commitment to security and compliance, including ISO 9001 and 27001 certifications. The discussion covers Ryan’s latest publication, “Mastering Azure Virtual Desktop,” and his thoughtful perspective on the future role of AI in the EUC space.

Listeners are invited to explore EfficientEther through available free trials, showcasing its immediate practical benefits.
