Datacenter

Not everything is in the cloud.

On-premises infrastructure deserves the same visibility as your cloud resources. Track datacenter costs, detect idle resources, and allocate shared infrastructure across teams.

The Hidden Cost

Idle servers burn money

That server you provisioned for the Q3 project? It's still running. The dev cluster that "might be needed later"? Still consuming power. Legacy workloads keeping hardware alive for a single weekly job?

Underutilized datacenter resources are invisible costs. They don't show up on a cloud bill, but they consume power, require maintenance, and take up valuable rack space.

Reduce connects to your on-premises infrastructure to identify idle and underutilized resources. See exactly what's running, what's idle, and what can be consolidated or decommissioned.

Fair Allocation

Shared costs, split fairly

A single physical server often runs workloads for multiple teams. A SAN serves storage for the entire organization. Network equipment is shared by everyone.

Reduce tracks actual resource usage — CPU cycles, memory consumption, storage I/O, network bandwidth — and allocates costs proportionally to the teams and projects that consume them.

No more spreadsheet-based cost splits. No more arguments about who should pay for shared infrastructure. Just accurate, usage-based chargeback.

How It Works

Lightweight on-prem agent

1

Deploy

Install the lightweight Go-based agent on your datacenter servers. Single binary, minimal footprint.

2

Collect

The agent collects CPU, memory, storage, and network metrics. Data is sent securely to Reduce.

3

Analyze

Reduce processes the metrics, identifies utilization patterns, and calculates cost allocations.

Agent Specifications

  • Language: Go (single binary)
  • Memory: < 50MB RAM
  • CPU: Negligible overhead
  • Network: Outbound HTTPS only
  • Platforms: Linux, Windows, macOS

Use Cases

Built for hybrid infrastructure

Consolidation Projects

Planning a datacenter consolidation? Reduce shows you exactly which workloads are candidates for migration or retirement, with utilization data to back up your decisions.

Chargeback Programs

Implementing internal chargeback? Reduce provides the usage metrics you need to fairly allocate shared infrastructure costs to the teams that consume them.

Hybrid Cloud Visibility

Running workloads both on-prem and in the cloud? See your complete infrastructure picture in one dashboard, with consistent cost tracking across all environments.

Capacity Planning

Understand actual utilization trends to make informed decisions about hardware refresh cycles, capacity additions, and cloud migration timing.
