Anodot to Acquire Pileus; Expands Offering to Control Cloud Costs

ASHBURN, Va., Nov. 10, 2021 — Anodot, the business monitoring company, announced the acquisition of Pileus, a cloud cost management platform for an undisclosed amount. The combined offering, powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, will enable businesses to proactively manage and forecast their cloud costs.

Valued at $396 billion, the public cloud market is fueled by businesses adopting cloud-first strategies for digital transformation and remote work initiatives. Cloud acceleration has created a significant cost driver for businesses. In fact, research shows that 69% of firms regularly overspend on their cloud budget by at least 25%.

“We have witnessed first-hand the many challenges organizations face while attempting to manage their cloud costs,” said David Drai, CEO, Anodot. “Historically, cloud pricing and billing has been a complicated undertaking for many organizations – until now. Today, Anodot joins forces with Pileus to combat this growing problem. Pileus is the only technology on the market able to provide granular intelligence, visibility and control over cloud billing.”

“Anodot’s acquisition of Pileus is not only a strong move to support Anodot’s expansion into cloud cost management, but also the realization of its vision as a leader in comprehensive autonomous business monitoring and prediction,” said Alexander Assim, Partner, Alicorn. “The team at Alicorn is proud to follow-on in Anodot and support both companies on their journey of growth following this strategic investment.”

The combined technology will integrate visualization, analytics and cost savings recommendations all from a single platform. Data-driven businesses will benefit from AI-powered anomaly detection, correlation and forecasting for real-time monitoring of all cloud environments, inclusive of Kubernetes-based services.

One of the biggest challenges for customers in managing their cloud costs is the ability to forecast cloud spend and identify anomalies in cloud uses and costs. The problem becomes several times more complex, in large and dynamic environments. said Roni Karp, CEO, Pileus.

Anodot’s advanced capabilities will allow Pileus to build an advanced forecast and anomaly detection, not only based on the cloud cost history but with further reference to additional business metrics, allowing for budget building, forecasting, and accurate anomaly detection that will result in huge cloud cost savings.
