Attimis and Aquila Clouds Partner to Uncover Hidden Costs of Hybrid Data and Solve the Pain
Hybrid cloud has become one of the most expensive IT decisions enterprises never intended to make. As compute and data spread across public clouds, Neo Clouds, private data centers, and the edge, most organizations have gained some flexibility but lost control. Data is fragmented across environments, duplicated, often up to five times, and rarely located where it’s needed most. Operations teams struggle with limited visibility, while costs continue to climb.
The result is a growing and often invisible tax: ballooning storage spend, unpredictable cloud egress fees, and escalating operational complexity—all with little improvement in performance or business outcomes.
This lack of insight is exactly why Attimis is partnering with Aquila Clouds, a leading FinOps platform, to help enterprises understand where their money is really going and eliminate unnecessary spend. Aquila Clouds delivers real-time observability and governance across multi- and hybrid cloud environments, including budget controls, precise cost allocation to cost centers, intelligent infrastructure and workload cost optimization, and proactive commitment management.
From Cost Visibility to Cost Elimination
Aquila Clouds provides deep visibility into enterprise cloud and infrastructure spend, revealing where costs are incurred and where inefficiencies exist. Attimis complements this insight with OneBucket™, which removes data duplication by providing secure, high-performance access to data anywhere without migrations or replication.
Together, Attimis and Aquila Clouds help enterprises move beyond reporting and dashboards to structural cost optimization by fixing the problems at the source.
Data-Driven Optimization, Not Assumptions
These outcomes aren’t theoretical—they’re repeatable. But they start with real, company-specific data, not assumptions or generic benchmarks. This is exactly why we have partnered with Aquila Clouds. By combining Aquila Clouds’ financial insights with Attimis’s orchestration muscle, we provide:
- Deep Insights: A granular look at exactly where your IT spend is leaking.
- Optimization: Eliminate siloed and duplicated data with data mobility.
- Measurable Outcomes: High-performance local access to data anywhere, without the cloud tax.
"Visibility without action is just an expensive bill," says Damian Kowalewski, CEO of Attimis. "By partnering with Aquila Clouds, we are giving customers the 'Brain' to see the waste and the 'Muscle' to fix it."
A FinOps assessment quickly exposes where hybrid data is silently inflating your cloud bill—and what can be fixed immediately.
Real-World Examples
AI Inference Company For a fast-growing AI inference company, time to market was critical. Development teams operated out of Seattle, Palo Alto, and Washington, DC, while AI training ran on a Neo Cloud and software builds were stored in AWS. Centralized builds slowed developer productivity, AWS egress costs climbed into the thousands, and GPUs sat idle nearly 30% of the time waiting for data.
With Attimis OneBucket™:
- Time to market was accelerated by months
- Engineer productivity increased with access to local, “hot” data
- GPU utilization improved by 30%
- AWS egress fees eliminated
Online Travel Company A large online travel company stored hundreds of petabytes of customer data in AWS, while AI and GPU infrastructure was deployed in a private data center to meet compliance and security requirements. As AI experimentation increased, AWS egress costs skyrocketed to $250K per month, and training performance suffered due to network latency. When the storage team attempted to intervene, they lacked visibility into which data was being accessed, how often, and at what cost.
With Attimis OneBucket™:
- Full visibility and control over data usage
- AWS egress costs were reduced from $250K per month to $5K per month
- AI training performance improved significantly
