All Your Splunk Data, One Cisco Stack
Modernize Splunk with flashless Cisco UCS indexers and Cisco EBox with VAST Infinite Cache for faster searches, longer retention, and lower TCO. Splunk teams shouldn't have to choose between fast searches, long retention, and budget. In this session, Cisco and VAST Data demonstrated how Cisco UCS C225 M8 flashless indexers and Cisco EBox running VAST Infinite Cache deliver an all-flash experience for Splunk SmartStore, without local NVMe in every node. Stream now to see how this joint architecture fits into Splunk POD, what changes (and what doesn't) for your operations team, and the real-world impact on performance, footprint, and cost.
Key Takeaways:
