How to accelerate Splunk analytics

HOW TO ACCELERATE SPLUNK ANALYTICS:

Pair machine data with high-performance storage

By 2020 42 percent of all data will be machine generated.

For CIOs and other IT leaders, this data is a potential gold mine of

analytics and opportunities.

Operational analytics platforms like Splunk make capturing, analyzing, indexing and visualizing

machine data easy – but their demands for both performance and scalability make data storage management and infrastructure challenging.

Enterprises want Splunk’s operational and security intelligence analytics to make better decisions that lead to increased revenue, competitive advantage, risk protection and more.

Once users see the value of this data, demand for it grows – quickly.

Splunk is your most powerful asset – if your storage doesn’t get in the way.

Your company could spend up to 50% of Splunk project costs

on data storage.

OR, you could invest 100% of your project in Splunk-powered enhanced

analytics and improved ROI.

splunk storage requirements:

• Splunk environments can throw off TBs of data every day.

• Data can grow by an order of magnitude as usage spikes.

• For every TB of raw machine data, Splunk uses an average 23 times that amount in tiered storage.

Storage systems on today’s market weren’t built to handle machine-generated data that requires both performance and scale.

As data grows, it’s driving enterprises into a storage crisis.

existing solutions fall short:

• On-premises storage can’t deliver the agility and economics apps like Splunk require.

• Thecloudcomeswithasacrificein performance and security.

when it comes to high-performance splunk storage management, it needs:

• Scalability

• Elasticity

• Economics

• Security

• Low latency

• Ease of administration

To get even more value out of your Splunk deployment, IT needs to redefine Splunk

storage best practices.

What’s the secret to managing the spread of machine-generated data?

IT has to look at storage for the Splunk enterprise in a new way – one that

moves hot, warm and cold data through the data center and the cloud, and lets Splunk use grow faster than previously possible, so organizations stay agile.
