Splunk SmartStore Powered by NetApp StorageGRID

Machine-generated information is complex, growing, and largely becoming a key element to operational and business assessments.

Handling these large datasets a huge challenge, because there is rapid development in machines generating vast amounts of data to be accessed and processed. Splunk plays a vital role in dealing with the assessment and presentation of data analytics, and NetApp provides storage at scale efficiently in multicloud environments.

Splunk Enterprise is a full-featured, powerful software platform for collecting, searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine data. Splunk rapidly turns machine data into visibility, insight, and intelligence.

As your business harnesses the power and ease of Splunk data analytics, you naturally want to index an evergrowing amount of data. And as this data grows, so does the compute and storage infrastructure required to service it.

When older data is referenced less frequently, you don't want to commit the same number of compute resources to it and or let it consume expensive primary storage. To operate at scale, organizations need a way to move less frequently searched data to more efficient tiers, freeing compute and primary storage for the data that is used the most.

The combination of Splunk SmartStore and the NetApp StorageGRID object-based storage solution provides storage at scale and performance at lower cost. The solution can be deployed on single sites or multiple sites, and it offers decoupled compute and storage for optimal flexibility.
