Lucidity Announces Lumen to Bring Greater Control to Storage Automation

SAN DIEGO, CA – June 3, 2025

Lucidity, the world's only multi-cloud storage management company, today announced the public availability of Lumen. Lumen is a visibility, recommendations, and actions engine designed for managing cloud storage.

As cloud usage increases, managing cloud storage involves manual decisions that lead to wasted spend and large-scale inefficiencies. According to Lucidity's research, downtime costs organizations an average of $9,000 per minute, while 25% of enterprise spending on disk tiering is wasted due to inefficient tier selection.

Lumen addresses these challenges by providing unified visibility into key storage metrics, data-driven recommendations on disk tiering optimization, and the ability to make single-click, downtime-free disk tier changes. The core innovation of Lumen lies in its ability to perform seamless disk tier conversions without requiring virtual machine reboots or application downtime.

Key Capabilities of Lumen:

Unified Visibility: Aggregates disk metrics across cloud provider portals into a single dashboard to show usage patterns and tiering efficiency.

Data-Driven Recommendations: Analyzes historical data to compare IOPS, throughput, latency, and cost between current tiers and recommended tiers.

Zero-Downtime Conversions: Unlocks painless, single-click disk tier changes with no impact on uptime.
