Case Study: XM Cyber achieves 60% EBS cost savings and zero failures with Zesty’s automated EBS auto-scaler

XM-Cyber Leverages Zesty to automatically right-size EBS volumes for effortless cost reduction

XM Cyber, a Herzliya-based cybersecurity company running hundreds of EC2 instances, faced runaway storage costs and the risk of EBS failures from manual, overprovisioned volumes. They had already used Zesty’s Commitment Manager to cut EC2 costs but needed an automated way to right-size EBS volumes—so they turned to Zesty’s EBS auto-scaler to continuously manage disk capacity.

Zesty’s EBS auto-scaler monitors utilization and automatically expands or shrinks volumes at predefined thresholds, removing manual intervention. As a result, XM Cyber achieved 60% less EBS spend, zero EBS failures, full visibility and real-time monitoring of volumes, and hands-free volume optimization — delivering immediate, measurable cloud savings managed by Zesty.
