Solving the Data Management Challenges Created by Growth in Splunk Usage One of the biggest challenges when it comes to generating business intelligence from large, distributed datasets like Splunk is meeting very large capacity and very fast search performance requirements…
While some applications in the data center require extreme performance, high performance is now a default requirement for all production applications. How performance is measured varies by application (for example, one application might require very high throughput while others might…
“IT transformation” is among the most commonly-used (and arguably the most over-used) term in the industry today, but no matter how you define it, one thing is clear: almost universally, enterprises are revamping their IT infrastructure to better meet modern…
Splunk is one of the most broadly adopted analytics applications on the market today. The primary reason for its popularity is it analyzes data that organizations already have, like log and metadata generated from IT operations, enterprise security and various…
Composable infrastructure, whereby resources are disaggregated and may be re-composed on the fly, stands to serve a number of key, future-forward IT infrastructure requirements. Resources may be added and then returned for use by a different application on the fly.…
Minimizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and maximizing the uptime of storage infrastructure has never been more important. More data is being captured and utilized by the business, and a new tier of premium-priced non-volatile memory express (NVMe) arrays…
Even though the workloads are only a few years old, the typical file system used in AI and High Velocity Analytics was created decades ago. These file systems, while parallel in nature, were optimized for large file, high bandwidth environments,…
The modern data center has to support many different types of workloads, each of which makes different demands on the storage architecture. Today, standard all-flash arrays (AFA) are the mainstream storage system for the data centers and conventional best practice…
Businesses large and small are looking to tap the performance acceleration of flash storage to be able to compete more effectively. The problem is that these solutions frequently come with a premium price tag – especially as non-volatile memory express…
Splunk SmartStore enables organizations to achieve a high degree of compute/storage elasticity and makes it possible to achieve longer data retention without compromising performance or breaking the budget. A critical component of SmartStore is the storage system that it uses…
