SwiftStack With Support for Splunk Enterprise 7.2 With SmartStore

SwiftStack, Inc. announced support for the Splunk Enterprise 7.2 with SmartStore.

The ready solution is the result of Splunk, Inc. and the company’s joint efforts to give Splunk users a storage infrastructure with twice the storage capacity for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) data at half the cost of a legacy on-premises deployment.

New in Splunk Enterprise is its optimized data management model called SmartStore, which separates storage resources from the compute nodes to maximize configuration flexibility while maintaining search performance. As a validated storage target for Splunk Enterprise 7.2 with SmartStore, the company enables users to expand Splunk usage for business intelligence and predictive analytics, so enterprises can derive even greater insights from machine data.

The company provides an integrated platform for storage of warm Splunk data through the S3 API, the de-facto standard for cloud-native storage. Users can keep all Splunk data online, in one or more data centers and/or clouds, search across months or years instead of days or weeks, and reliably meet data governance objectives for long-term retention and protection. Capacity and throughput can scale infinitely alongside data volumes and ingest rates as needed. And, with SwiftStack, Splunk data is resilient up to fourteen 9s of durability as soon as the bits are written to the disk drives.

“Splunk deployments are challenged by large data stores, and the need to perform complex analytics of machine-generated data, one of the fastest-growing and most pervasive ‘big data’ categories,” said Greg Govatos, VP, strategic alliances, SwiftStack. “Our modern, scale-out, high-throughput infrastructure for Splunk workloads can manage petabytes of data at a lower price point than in previous environments and this modernization can occur incrementally.“

The firm’s integration with SmartStore was demonstrated for the first time at .conf18, the annual Splunk conference, at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, FL.
