Rising economic uncertainties and dynamic technological advancements make companies investigate their cloud ROI. The cost-cutting potential is one of the factors applied by the top tech magazine CRN in its list of the hottest startups to watch in 2023. CAST AI – the leading Kubernetes automation and cost management platform – appears in the list for the second time in a row.
As in previous years, CRN named the ten hottest cloud startups able to deliver innovation in a market poised for further growth. Apart from CAST AI, the list includes the likes of Chronosphere, Aviatrix Systems, and Cloudbrink. Some of them have raised considerable funds from investors or are planning IPOs, and partnering with the largest cloud providers.
The magazine singled out CAST AI’s capabilities to analyze data to find an optimal cloud cost-performance ratio and streamline DevOps tasks. In addition, CRN editors highlighted that the platform delivers a resilient infrastructure for all Kubernetes workloads and noted its latest addition of fully integrated cluster security insights.
“Public cloud sales are predicted to hit the $500 billion mark this year. It’s reasonable to expect that with growing inflation rates and a looming downturn, companies will become warier of their cloud costs and ROI. We’re thrilled to get CRN editors’ attention, and we hope it will help even more users to eliminate cloud waste and unnecessary spending. This has been our dream from day one, and it’s fantastic to see that it’s becoming a reality,” commented Laurent Gil, CAST AI’s Co-founder and Chief Product Officer.
