SMARTSCALE
"Your cloud works. SmartScale makes sure it does not waste."
Provisioning in the cloud is easy. Too easy. The result is environments full of oversized instances, poorly managed reservations, three-year-old snapshots and storage buckets nobody remembers creating. Inefficiency is invisible — it simply appears on the bill.
SmartScale is the continuous optimisation engine from Assets Consultores. It analyses your workload behaviour in real time, identifies savings opportunities and recommends — or automatically executes — the adjustments needed so that every euro invested in cloud delivers maximum return.
Cloud optimisation is not a one-off project. It is a permanent process. SmartScale turns it into an autonomous one.
SmartScale Capabilities
Intelligent Rightsizing
60% of cloud instances are oversized. Engineering teams provision with a "just in case" margin and that margin is never reviewed. The result is paying for capacity that is never used, every month, silently.
SmartScale analyses the real behaviour of workloads — CPU, memory, network, IOPS — over representative periods and generates rightsizing recommendations based on real utilisation percentiles, not on averages that mask peaks.
Recommendations include projected savings, performance impact and confidence level, so your teams can make informed decisions.
In mid-sized organisations, systematic rightsizing reduces the compute bill by 20–35% within the first 90 days.
Commitment and Reservation Optimisation
Reserved Instances, Savings Plans (AWS), Reserved VMs (Azure) and Committed Use Discounts (GCP) can generate discounts of up to 72% on on-demand prices. The problem: buying the wrong commitment is worse than buying none at all, and managing a multicloud commitment portfolio is extremely complex.
SmartScale analyses usage patterns over time to identify the optimal combination of commitments: what type (compute, specific instance), what term (1 or 3 years), what payment option (no upfront, partial, all upfront) and in which account to purchase them to maximise benefit.
The reservation management module continuously monitors the utilisation rate of existing commitments and alerts on underutilised reservations before their value evaporates.
Your cloud commitments, working at full capacity, always.
Idle Resource Elimination
Cloud environments accumulate waste. Detached disks that nobody deleted, load balancers with no registered backends, static IPs reserved without an assigned instance, staging environments that "will only be temporary" and have been running for months. This diffuse waste can represent 10–25% of total spend.
SmartScale continuously scans all resources across your cloud accounts, identifies those that have had no real activity for a period of time and classifies them by economic impact and elimination risk. Cleanup workflows can run manually with team approval or fully automatically according to the policies you define.
Critical resources can be marked as protected so they are never affected by automatic processes.
Your cloud environment, clean and under control. Every resource has a purpose or it does not exist.
Optimised Auto-scaling
Cloud provider auto-scaling is reactive by design: it scales when the problem is already occurring. The result is latency spikes while new instances start up and, frequently, scaling policies so conservative that they keep infrastructure permanently oversized to avoid any incident.
SmartScale adds a predictive intelligence layer on top of your workload auto-scaling. It analyses historical demand patterns, business calendars and foreseeable events (campaigns, month-end closes, launches) to anticipate peaks and scale ahead of time.
Policies automatically adjust over time as usage patterns evolve, without manual intervention.
Always the right capacity at the right moment. No more, no less.
How much are you paying for cloud you do not use?
The industry average is 30–35% waste. SmartScale identifies it and eliminates it continuously and automatically.
