A recent press release states, “SwiftStack, the leader in multi-cloud data management, today announced full support for the new Splunk Enterprise 7.2 with SmartStore, unveiled today at Splunk .conf18. The day-one-ready solution is the result of Splunk and SwiftStack’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, SwiftStack enables users to expand Splunk usage for business intelligence and predictive analytics, so enterprises can derive even greater insights from machine data.”

The release continues, “SwiftStack provides an easily integrated platform for storage of warm Splunk data through the S3 API, the de-facto standard for cloud-native storage. Users can now 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.”
