Our story
Holori provides the end-to-end multi-cloud management solution. Holori cloud calculator identifies the best cloud offers by comparing more than 500 000 prices from major cloud providers worldwide. The reason we started Holori goes back to our first startup where we developed software solutions for the 3d printing industry.
At this company we were developing an algorithm to detect print failures and for this we had to shift to a Cassandra database. At some point our team and especially our Data Scientist needed more computing power, large disk space and heavy IO performances to run some tests on AWS and we of course accepted.
We didn’t realise back then the cloud costs to perform intensive data tests on the cloud. Few days later, we found out the bill was way beyond our expectations. We were very surprised and had to ask our Data scientist to stop the computing tests... Overall we must say that we were a very tech startup with mostly technical costs and the cloud was our second cost just after the salaries.
Our CTO was spending lots of time on AWS console trying to limit the bill of course but there are just some costs you can’t drive down at some point. After selling our first startup, we were wondering what we would do next and were eagerly looking for a new technological adventure. At some point we heard about those spot instances or preemptible VMs as some cloud providers call them. This is how with my former co-founder we fell in love with cloud technologies. Spot instances are unused capacity that cloud providers are offering at a discount price. AWS, Azure or GCP are claiming that those instances can be available at up to 90% discounts compared to on-demand prices. The price of Spot instances varies in real-time depending on the bid & ask.
We both have a financial background and we directly thought about the savings we could have made if we had known about this earlier and were wondering about the arbitrage that could be made between the different spot markets from the different cloud providers. At this stage we were pretty ignorant about this new industry but immediately imagined a huge potential behind this idea based on our previous experience with important cloud costs in the past. The spot instances as it reminded us of the trading industry applied to the cloud.
That’s how we decided to build a concept for the cloud industry with the aim to reduce cloud costs while taking advantage of the possible arbitrage between the cloud providers and the spot market.
