CloudNatix helps largest Japanese consumer’s organization automate cloud optimization & cut costs

Co-op Tohoku is a business association of 7 co-op groups in the Tohoku region. It has 120 stores and 54 delivery depots, and it plays a vital role as life infrastructure by providing various services including store, delivery, and services (e.g., insurance).

The union was working on a transformation that actively adopts digital technology and accelerates their move to public cloud, and as part of this, Co-op Tohoku was migrating various systems including mission-critical business systems to Amazon Web Services (AWS). CloudNatix Platform helped Co-op Tohoku in visualizing cost and identifying automated optimization opportunities.

CloudNatix helps SOC Prime optimize Kubernetes spend

SOC Prime's operates the world's largest and most advanced platform for collective cyber defense enabling security teams to address the challenges of building context-enriched and threat-specific detections, organize and execute around strategic detection objectives, and manage the deployment of content at scale across 25+ SIEM, EDR, and XDR platforms.

“Being a tech-forward company, SOC Prime runs the significant part of their applications and services on Kubernetes,” says the Head of DevOps Eugene Samborskyi. As SOC Prime grows and delivers more products to its customers across different industry verticals and diverse levels of cybersecurity maturity, it becomes a priority to gain a more granular view of workloads to better manage efficiency, allocate resources, and forecast capacity.

Global financial firm realizes 66% reduction in cost

A global financial firm had embarked on digital transformation journey where it leveraged Kubernetes (K8s) and a public cloud platform to develop its next generation of financial services applications. A global financial realized potential for 3x utilization increase and 66% reduction in multi-k8s fleet footprint.

In order to modernize applications, the company had adopted K8s as a Infrastructure abstraction layer allowing for rapid development on public cloud and subsequent production deployment in on-premise datacenters.

As the company expanded its use of Kubernetes, they quickly discovered that capacity management, operational management was quite complex in a multi-Kubernetes cluster environment with many of their clusters running at barely 20% utilization. As the projects ramped up, this low utilization started resulting in cloud waste and became a cost problem.

After a multi-month thorough evaluation, the company realized that CloudNatix can help automate capacity and operation optimization their Kubernetes clusters driving up utilization to upwards of 60% or 3x which resulted in 66% of hard cost reduction or $4.5M over 3 years.

We discovered that the bottom line was CloudNatix improved human and machine efficiency across clusters and dramatically accelerated lagging digital transformation projects.
