By using Splunk SmartStore it let’s you decouple the compute and storage layers, so you can independently scale those resources to best serve workload demands. With SmartStore, Splunk Indexers retain data only in hot buckets that contain newly indexed data. Older data resides in the warm buckets and is stored within the scalable and highly cost-effective Cloudian cluster. SmartStore manages where data is stored, moving data among indexers and the external Cloudian storage based on data age, priority and users’ access patterns. As of today, clients can immediately achieve a 70% saving on Splunk Infrastructure.
