Spotinst Provides a Software Platform That Reliably and Efficiently Leverages Cloud Providers’ Excess Capacity for Production and Mission Critical Applications.

Spotinst is a Cloud Cost Optimization Solution focused on the idea that cost can be continuously and dynamically optimized in public clouds.

Historical and current market data is used together with advanced analytics and proprietary algorithms to create “intelligent” bids for Spot Instances. The solution can predict a potential disruption event more than 10 minutes before it occurs.

In the event that a Spot instance is predicted to be interrupted and there are no additional Spot instances available in the market, Spotinst can designate a workload to fall back to On-Demand or Reserved Instances, ensuring availability and reliability.

Spotinst

Any workload running in the On-Demand or the Reserved Instance environments can be managed by Spotinst Elastigroups (without charge).

Any stateless application running in a clustered configuration can be managed by Spotinst and take advantage of the potential savings available in the Spot Market.

Current configurations can be directly imported from the ASG, created within the console using the wizard or API, and can be managed leveraging tools such as Cloud Formation or Terraform as alternatives to the Console.

Workloads requiring Data Persistence can take advantage of the potential Spot cost savings via automated server snapshots.

Workloads Beyond Batch

Trust the numbers. Spotinst has launched over 27 Million servers saving over 500 customers in excess of $61M in under 2 years

The Company- Pit Rho

Pit Rho partners with organizations to identify and maximize the value of their unique data by leveraging the power of computer science, statistics, and machine learning.

The ChallengeOne of our motorsports strategy products requires a lot of horsepower during ‘race day’. Every weekend we need approximately an additional 16 cores and 32GB of memory above what is required during the rest of the week.Initially, we solved this by purchasing machines with specs that were able to handle the peak load. Of course, we found that this solution becomes quite expensive – even with the reserved instance pricing model. What’s more, it limited our ability to push the limits of the real-time processing for fear of exceeding the servers’ specs.

Why SpotinstUsing Spotinst we were able to reduce our server costs by about 70% over On-Demand pricing. This architecture allows us to cut costs by nearly 50% over the reserved-instance pricing without any long-term commitment of any kind. Spotinst is able to provide an incredibly straightforward way to manage the complexities of bidding, provisioning, and managing the replacement of spot instances that expire without any downtime.
