YotaScale<\/a>, a graduate of\u00a0Alchemist\u2019s enterprise accelerator, is announcing a $3.6 million venture round today from Engineering Capital<\/a>, Pelion Ventures<\/a> and angels Jocelyn Goldfein, Timothy Chou and Robert Dykes. The startup employs machine learning to help balance performance, availability and cost for enterprise cloud computing.\u00a0Competitors CloudHealth Technologies<\/a> and Cloudability <\/a>have raised\u00a0a combined $80 million in the hot space.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing has rapidly become integral to businesses in just about every industry. But the quick pace of innovation has made it hard to monitor ever-evolving cloud infrastructure. Rather than dump the responsibility on humans,\u00a0YotaScale is automating performance management itself.<\/p>\n

The company\u00a0combs over a\u00a0myriad cloud data to\u00a0ensure that\u00a0a company\u2019s infrastructure is optimized for its overarching business priorities. These priorities can be really simple, like minimizing cost, or they can be highly complex, involving multiple projects with different end-goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody can do the simple stuff and tell you your machine is running low on utilization and you\u00a0should shut it down,\u201d explains\u00a0Asim Razzaq, CEO of\u00a0YotaScale.<\/p>\n

Razzaq\u2019s\u00a0system is able to combine usage data with billing and log data. This information\u00a0serves as the underpinnings for anomaly detection against a baseline. Though it might not sound like a lot of data, it\u2019s enough to extrapolate out things like\u00a0resource consumption and CPU utilization.<\/p>\n

But the tricky part of anomaly detection is defining normal, because normalcy is highly contextual. A spike in use might not be an anomaly at all for an e-commerce company on\u00a0Black Friday. To this point,\u00a0YotaScale isn\u2019t just concerned with historical data, it actually makes forward projections. This makes it possible\u00a0to contextualize data fluctuations. Instead of flagging every single change, the system compares expected performance against actual performance.<\/p>\n

Different types of cloud infrastructure data are created in different time intervals; some hourly, others daily, etc. The challenge becomes optimizing across that differentiation.\u00a0Ensemble\u00a0machine learning techniques are used to improve the accuracy of\u00a0analysis and to manage the many dimensions of captured data.\u00a0Regression models serve as the foundation, with other semi-supervised models coming in for specific uses.<\/p>\n

Using\u00a0YotaScale, enterprises like Apigee and Zenefits can ideally rely on machines to manage\u00a0their cloud computing needs, taking a load off cloud and DevOps teams. Not to mention,\u00a0machines have a pretty strong compute advantage when it comes to real-time analysis.<\/p>\n
