Lucidity Introduces No-Cost Assessment That Gives Enterprises Instant Visibility Into Cloud Block Storage Waste

• The free, self-serve tool that gives organizations unified visibility into cloud block storage usage, waste, and savings opportunity with no agents and no commitment.

March 31, 2026, Boston, MA: Lucidity, the world's only multi-cloud storage management company, today announced the public availability of Assessment – a free, self-serve cloud block storage visibility tool. The web-based Assessment gives enterprises a unified view of their cloud block storage environment in just 15 minutes, with no agents to deploy and no commitment required.

Most enterprises are flying blind when it comes to their cloud block storage utilization. Cloud provider portals offer little visibility into actual usage, and gathering this data manually at scale requires an immense amount of time and effort, making it functionally impossible for most organizations. With average disk utilization sitting at just 30% across industries, the result is massive, largely invisible budget waste that IT and cloud teams have no easy way to identify or act on.

"Most organizations we talk to have no idea how much of their cloud storage spend is bloat and waste," says Nitin Bhadauria, Cofounder at Lucidity. "Assessment changes that. In 15 minutes, users can see the true state of their cloud block storage for the first time, including their utilization, their waste, and exactly how much they could save by optimizing their storage. It's free, it's fast, and it's the visibility enterprises have been missing."

Benchmark yourself against the current state of cloud disk utilization

Over 700 enterprises have partnered with Lucidity to run the original form of Assessment across hundreds of petabytes of capacity. The new State of Cloud Storage 2026 report highlights some of the findings from across these Assessments, including that the average disk utilization is just 30%, meaning that up to 70% of cloud block storage spend is wasted every month. Additionally, distribution of data is uneven, so despite such low utilization, 8-10% of disks are at risk of running out of space and causing downtime. 

Now with the new, web-based Assessment tool, any organization can run it self-serve within 15 minutes to see the state of their cloud block storage utilization and waste.
