AIPrunr | Stop Paying for Zombie Infrastructure

Case Study: Scaling Down to Scale Up

The Challenge

A mid-sized logistics company was spending $85,000/month on AWS but couldn't identify who owned what.

The AIPrunr Fix

They deployed the AIPrunr Appliance in their Shared Services VPC. Without installing agents on 2,000+ VMs, AIPrunr analyzed VPC Flow Logs.

The Result

Identified 340 Zombie Instances.
Reclaimed $18,400/month in waste.
ROI achieved in Day 1.

22%

Immediate Cost Reduction

The Cloud Waste Crisis

💸 $26 Billion Lost

Annually wasted on idle cloud resources. 30% of all cloud spend is for non-production or forgotten assets.

🧟 Zombie Servers

Metric tools show low CPU, but miss servers that are "running" but serving zero business traffic.

🚫 Agent Fatigue

DevOps and SecOps reject invasive agents. You need visibility without the installation headache.

Zero Touch. 100% Visibility.

Why AIPrunr?

Agentless Architecture: Connects via secure Read-Only APIs across Cloud & On-Prem. No software or sidecars to install.
Traffic-Based Intelligence: Analyzes network Flow Logs to differentiate real business users from background noise (DNS/NTP).
Secure & Private: Analyzes packet headers only. 100% self-hosted with zero outbound data egress.
JIT Ephemeral Remediation: 1-Click safe de-provisioning with automated instant 1-Click Unkill restoration switches.
Datacenter & Multi-Cloud Scope: Unified forensic audits across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, K8s, and VMware vSphere datacenters.

Status: IDLE

Last Traffic: 14 Days Ago

Recommendation: KILL

Potential Savings: $145.20 / mo

How It Works

1

Connect

Provide a Read-Only Role for AWS, Azure, or GCP.

2

Ingest

We pull API metadata and VPC/NSG Flow Logs.

3

Analyze

Our Heuristic Engine filters noise (DNS, Splunk) to find true idleness.

4

Act

Receive a "Kill List" with actionable dollar-value savings.

The "Dirty Tag" Problem

Traditional tools from Legacy Giants and Cloud Natives share a fatal flaw: they rely on Billing Tags. If an asset isn't tagged, it's invisible. If it's tagged but idle, they call it active. AIPrunr uses VPC Flow Forensics to identify resources based on actual heartbeats. We don't look for tags; we look for life.
