Lucidity AutoScaler Now Supports Kubernetes

Summary:

• Lucidity extends the coverage of the industry’s first cloud block storage AutoScaler into Kubernetes environments
• AutoScaler increases visibility and time-to-value with new reporting module and bulk onboarding capabilities

Lucidity, the world’s only multi-cloud storage management company, today announced the expansion of AutoScaler, with support for Kubernetes, new enterprise-grade reporting capabilities and scalability enhancements.The continued innovation in AutoScaler enables IT, DevOps, platform, and cloud teams to recoup engineering time and cloud budget across a wider range of their environment, improve their time to value, and communicate value and results more effectively with key stakeholders.

Lucidity delivers autonomous cloud block storage rightsizing and intelligent disk tiering for some of the world’s largest enterprises. By automating disk expansions and shrinks with no downtime or manual intervention, Lucidity helps customers recoup up to 70% savings on their cloud block storage spend, eliminate storage-related downtime, and reclaim 100s of engineering hours from manual support and maintenance work.

Persistent Volumes in Kubernetes can be a sneaky source of invisible waste. While Kubernetes will scale the number of instances up and down responsively, the underlying storage remains untouched, and is often majorly underutilized for many companies. With the latest AutoScaler enhancements, Lucidity can now automatically and dynamically rightsize Persistent Volumes in EKS, further expanding the cost savings and automation that AutoScaler is known for to a wider range of customer environments.

“As more and more enterprises adopt AutoScaler, the feedback has been incredible,” said Nitin Bhaudaria, co-founder, Lucidity. “There’s been a lot of customer demand for extending AutoScaler to more parts of the storage environment, including Kubernetes. By bringing in automated management, simplified monitoring, and seamless integration with existing setups, AutoScaler enables customers to turn their static Persistent Volumes that are difficult to manage and often go extremely underutilized into truly dynamic Persistent Volumes that respond to real-time data needs and are continuously optimized with no effort from IT, cloud, and DevOps teams. This is a critical element as enterprises lift and optimize from on-prem to cloud environments and pursue optimization across their cloud estate.”

Key new capabilities and benefits of AutoScaler
AutoScaler helps enterprises worldwide continue their efforts to reduce wasted cloud storage spend, eliminate downtime, and reclaim hundreds of IT and DevOps hours.

The latest enhancements to AutoScaler deliver:

• Autonomous rightsizing of persistent volumes in EKS
  • AutoScaler now covers EKS in addition to Windows and Linux environments, delivering automatic expand and shrink operations for EKS Persistent Volumes to maintain an ideal storage capacity based on real-time data demands
• Increased visibility with a brand new reports module
  • With the new reports module, customers can generate .CSV reports on demand to recap savings realized, onboarding coverage, custom policy coverage, and more. This increases transparency and visibility for leadership and cross-functional teams, helping teams track and communicate the value Lucidity delivers
• Faster scaling and time to value with bulk onboarding for Linux
  • Lucidity customers can now onboard Linux disks in bulk, helping them rapidly set up Lucidity at petabyte scale, and begin realizing savings and reducing manual provisioning work faster than ever before

The further growth of Lucidity AutoScaler towards simplifying cloud storage management follows customer demand for more automation and visibility that reduces the burden on IT, DevOps, platform, and cloud teams and provides tangible reductions in cloud spend. Lucidity provides the most comprehensive solution for optimizing cloud block storage across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, empowering organizations to get the most out of their cloud commits and engineering time.
