Cloud storage management platform simplifies storage optimisation cutting costs by 50%<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autonomous storage optimisation startup Datafy has secured new funding, bringing total investment to US$20 million. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from existing investor Insight Partners with the primary goal of accelerating the company\u2019s growth in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With cloud storage costs soaring, Datafy\u2019s rapid customer adoption highlights an urgent demand for cloud storage efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At Via, efficiency and stability aren\u2019t just internal goals; they\u2019re promises we make to cities and passengers every day. That means our infrastructure has to be just as dependable”: said Lior Gernenstein, CTO, Via.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Datafy has the system to automatically scale storage as demands shift without downtime or wasted spend. With clear visibility into utilisation we can make smarter infrastructure decisions and stay focused on delivering reliable resilient transportation to the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H2O.ai, the world\u2019s leading agentic AI company, serves industry giants such as AT&T, Workday and many more. The company has seen immediate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Datafy, we reduced EBS costs by 40% where possible while maintaining the flexibility to automatically scale cloud storage as needed. The performance improvements were immediate and the solution\u2019s simplicity and reliability truly stood out\u201d: said Ophir Zahavi, Senior Manager, Cloud Engineering, H2O.ai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Datafy\u2019s approach is pitched as practical and non-disruptive; instead of relying on recommendations, its solution is 100% autonomous, reducing the burden on users to perpetually right-size their storage demands. This empowers FinOps and DevOps teams to reduce costs while maintaining complete control over their storage operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Datafy solution includes a zero-downtime auto-scaling engine paired with a free sensor that monitors storage usage in real time requiring no code changes or engineering lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new investment accelerates Datafy\u2019s expansion including growing its US presence and introducing new storage optimisation solutions. Its partner programme is also gaining traction with several AWS Premier Partners already part of Datafy\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Storage demands are at an all-time high and businesses need efficiency without complexity”: said Zivan Ori, CEO, Datafy. “This latest funding validates the strong customer traction we\u2019ve seen and allows us to scale quickly to meet growing demand.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnlike so many others trying to help customers save cloud costs on the operational level, Datafy has taken a deep tech approach and developed a product for the most demanding and sophisticated users of cloud storage,\u201d said Adam Fisher, Bessemer Venture Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded by industry veterans CEO Zivan Ori, COO Ziv Serlin and CPO Yoav Ilovich \u2013 former storage leaders with decades of expertise \u2013 Datafy is redefining how enterprises manage cloud storage. Ori and Serlin previously co-founded E8 Storage which AWS acquired in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
