Four Components of Intelligent Kubernetes Resource Optimization

  • scheduler icon co page

    The Scheduler

    Makes more accurate and efficient resource decisions with Pepperdata-provided data.

  • workload node icon

    Workloads on Nodes

    Are spun up based on real-time physical utilization.

  • pods icon co page

    Pods

    Are launched with optimized resource requests.

  • autoscaling icon co page

    The Autoscaler

    Can scale up more efficiently since nodes are packed based on actual utilization.

Customer Optimization Stories

50% Cost Savings

“Pepperdata allowed us to significantly increase capacity for our Amazon EMR workloads and reduce our EC2 costs by over 50%. We can focus on our business, while they optimize for costs and performance.”

Mark Kidwell Former Chief Data Architect, Data Platforms and Services, Autodesk

Improved Infrastructure Efficiency

“Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer helps optimize the efficiency of our infrastructure to reduce our spending.”

VP, Big Data Solutions Engineering, Financial Services Company

Automated Resource Optimization

“I was thinking there’s no way there’s a 30% overhead in [compute and memory resources] that everyone is paying that isn’t fixed.. But you see it in the numbers [with Pepperdata] that it’s true.”

Ben Smith VP of Technical Operations, Extole

Freedom From Manual Tuning

“[Pepperdata] freed me up to do all kinds of automation around cluster management, whereas [otherwise] I would have been day-to-day firefighting, figuring out where the resources were, what jobs were starving for resources, and then trying to play the resource police on the cluster.”

Director of Engineering, Advertising Technology Company

30-75% Cost Savings on Amazon EMR

“Saved 75% cost on [Amazon] EMR… Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer helped us to reduce the wastage on EMR clusters and increased the efficiency. For one of the clusters – the savings was as big as 75%. For others we are seeing at least 30% savings.”

Senior Director, Top Online Bank

Increased CPU Utilization

“[Pepperdata] Capacity Optimizer helps Pepperdata pay for itself… It’s allowing us to best utilize the compute we have available for our workloads.”
