Datafy promises to slash massive EBS overprovisioning costs | Computer Weekly
Summary
According to Gurdip Kalley, head of business development at Datafy, the core issue with AWS EBS is that it is effectively a form of direct-attached storage (DAS) but in the cloud, and that differs from other AWS block storage such as FSX which can be one-to-many. And so, because of this, customer devops engineers invariably over-provision capacity because it’s very difficult to predict usage, especially in Kubernetes deployments. Kalley said there are no “non-AWS concepts” introduced to the running of Datafy agents and supra-agent intelligence. If that seems a steep percentage, it’s because Datafy is confident the customer will pay a lot less than it did for over-provisioned AWS EBS storage. Later in 2025, Datafy will expand its capabilities to Azure and Google Coud Platform block storage.
