Lucidity provides a cloud‑native storage optimization platform that continuously scans block, file, and object storage across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify idle, under‑utilized, and orphaned volumes. Its Lumen engine automatically tiers cold data, consolidates unattached disks, and expands temporary storage via API‑driven workflows, offering RESTful and SDK integrations for CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure tools. Real‑time dashboards deliver cost forecasting, waste heatmaps, and actionable remediation to help engineering and FinOps teams reduce storage spend while maintaining performance.

Problem
Enterprises using cloud infrastructure often over‑provision storage, leaving disks partially utilized or idle, which drives unnecessary costs and complicates capacity planning. Traditional storage management tools lack granular, automated insight into waste across block, file, and object storage layers.
Solution
Lucidity offers a cloud‑native storage optimization platform that continuously discovers under‑utilized and idle disks across major providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and presents actionable remediation. Its Lumen module automatically tiers data, consolidates unattached volumes, and expands temporary disks via API‑driven workflows that integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines. The platform exposes RESTful and SDK interfaces for developers to trigger cost‑effective restores, adjust tiering policies, and enforce FinOps best practices without manual intervention. Real‑time analytics dashboards visualize storage waste, forecast cost impact, and recommend right‑sizing actions, enabling operations teams to reduce spend while maintaining performance. Integration hooks support popular orchestration tools (Terraform, Kubernetes) and monitoring systems, ensuring seamless adoption in existing cloud workflows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cloud‑native engineering and FinOps teams at mid‑size to large enterprises that run workloads on AWS, Azure, or GCP and need automated storage cost control.
Features
- Continuous discovery engine that scans block, file, and object storage for idle, under‑utilized, or unattached volumes across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
- Lumen disk‑tiering engine that automatically moves cold data to lower‑cost tiers based on usage patterns and policy rules
- Temporary Disk Expansion APIs that provision and de‑provision extra capacity for database restores with built‑in cost optimization
- Idle Disk Module that identifies and safely cleans up orphaned disks, eliminating storage “tax” from over‑provisioning
- RESTful API and language‑specific SDKs (Python, Go, Java) for programmatic control and integration with CI/CD pipelines
- Real‑time analytics dashboard with cost forecasting, waste heatmaps, and customizable alerts for FinOps teams
- Native integrations with Terraform, Kubernetes operators, and major monitoring platforms (Prometheus, Datadog)
