Helping CloudOps Bridge the Gap between Finance & App Owners: Densify

In the present time, we come across many companies that use the cloud for their own advantage. Some use a single cloud, some use multi-cloud and some hybrid clouds. Densify is a predictive analytics service that optimizes your hybrid cloud in real-time. The firm is a leading service provider in the cloud sector where over 5000 organizations leverage its service to operate with fewer infrastructures, fewer cloud costs, and at the same time, deliver better performing applications to the business.

Densify is a privately-owned, venture-capital-funded corporation headquartered in Toronto. The firm feels that machine learning makes your apps self-optimizing—automatically and perfectly matching their resources needs to cloud products, 24/7.

To provide a solution Densify came up with a machine learning optimization engine called Cloe—continuously learns your cloud applications’ demand patterns, considers your business requirements, and perfectly matches those needs with the right available cloud supply to simultaneously minimize costs and improve app performance.

Cloe – the Machine Learning Optimization Engine

It is a Cloud-Learning Optimization Engine that enables your applications to become self-aware of their resource requirements and to dynamically match their needs to optimal cloud supply.

It responds to Evolving Application Demands & Leverage the Latest Cloud Abilities. Companies are increasingly buying into and making annual financial commitments to public cloud services that do not match their application requirements. They do this because it is not humanly possible to select the optimal array of cloud services for an application. Intelligent analytics are required to match evolving app requirements with existing and newly-offered cloud services. As application demands change, and new services are introduced, or old services are modernized, Cloe’s machine learning responds. Your applications—now made smart—are forever optimized, and your cloud spend begins plummeting immediately.

Cloe continuously learns your application usage patterns and demands and also has deep knowledge of what technology resources cloud providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, currently offer—as well as their pricing. Cloe can perfectly match your applications’ needs with the supply available from one or more of these cloud providers.

How the Company Targets the Root Causes of Cloud Costs with Machine Learning

Application demands can fluctuate every day, hour, and minute of the week. In parallel, cloud offerings—such as a particular compute instance from a single vendor like AWS—can individually have millions of permutations. It is impossible to match your application needs with the cloud technologies available while optimizing each dollar spent.

Densify leverages Cloe’s machine learning technology to continuously analyze cloud usage patterns, proactively making your applications self-aware of the changes required to continuously optimize performance and dramatically reduce costs. Unlike traditional cloud tools that focus on your bill but don't fix the underlying problem, Densify uses Cloe to target the root of cloud cost challenges by addressing the problem at the application and infrastructure layers.
