Case Study: Avast achieves more than 40% cloud cost reduction and improved ML app performance with Nutanix Beam (Nutanix)

Avast Uses Xi Beam to Reduce Cost & Improve Performance of Machine Learning Apps on Cloud

Avast, a global leader in cybersecurity with a massive cloud-based machine learning engine ingesting data from hundreds of millions of users, faced rapidly rising AWS costs as it scaled ML workloads. The cloud infrastructure team needed a more efficient Reserve Instance (RI) planning process and better cost visibility to control budget overruns while maintaining performance.

Using Nutanix Xi Beam’s Cost Governance, Avast gained granular visibility into daily spend, root causes of cost spikes, and time-based analytics, plus automated RI planning and reservation recommendations. The result was over a 40% reduction in cloud spend with improved performance, single-pane cost control and alerts, and machine-intelligence–driven RI recommendations and granular spend analytics.
