Deploy all-flash infrastructure for all your active data sets. VAST’s new advancements in commodity flash management, data protection and reduction deliver a lower TCO than hybrid storage alternatives.
IT infrastructure generates massive streams of machine data every day, and thousands of organizations are deploying Splunk Enterprise to analyze their machine data in order to gain valuable operational intelligence. However, the deployment and optimization of Splunk presents complex storage sizing challenges. How much flash-based storage do you allocate for the Hot/Warm buckets? Bad decisions coupled with unpredictable future search requirements can result in poor cluster performance, inefficiencies and reduced insights. Splunk’s storage tiering exists for only one reason – optimizing storage costs. If storage costs weren’t an issue, flash would resolve this tradeoff.
VAST Data Platform takes the guess work out of Splunk storage sizing by saving up to 70% of SSD capacity within each Index server (1 day of Hot/Warm). Scalable all-flash cold buckets accelerate search performance, regardless of the data volume. VAST's all-flash shared storage cluster combines hyperscale flash, low-overhead next generation erasure codes, and an all-new global data reduction algorithm to enable a lower total cost of Splunk storage acquisition without the limits of slow buckets.
