Era Software announced EraStreams
private beta, a no-code data pipeline that lets
users integrate, transform, and route observability data to
EraSearch, the company's petabyte-scale log management platform, and
third-party monitoring tools.
Era Software is
broadening the scope of its log management solution and fitting into more of
the observability stack. With a time series database and object storage under
the hood, the company's approach to observability data management resolves
scale, performance, and cost issues associated with running applications on modern
architectures, including cloud, containers, and microservices.
EraStreams
complements EraSearch to optimize cost-performance and is flexible to integrate
into existing DevOps workflows and tools. For IT teams, including DevOps and
SRE, this means managing log data costs confidently by filtering less relevant
data for faster troubleshooting while extracting useful data automatically or
through powerful filters.
"Our
vision is to
be the observability data management choice for organizations
dealing with massive volumes of observability data,"
said Todd Persen, co-founder and chief executive officer, Era Software. "The
unveiling of EraStreams today advances this vision with a data pipeline to help
you manage observability costs and improve troubleshooting effectiveness. It
gives you real-time insights into application and system performance and adds
another component to our scalable, cost-effective observability data
management."
For security
teams with high log management costs and performance challenges using expensive
SIEM solutions, EraStreams transforms and routes optimized datasets to a SIEM
for security analytics and offers an option to send raw data to EraSearch for
cost-efficient log management. If personally identifiable information (PII)
poses a security risk, teams can protect sensitive data by masking PII before
writing to disk. Data managed in EraSearch can be efficiently retrieved through
its observability data rehydration capability when needed for investigations or
threat hunting.
With EraStreams, IT and
security teams can optimize raw data into insights and send only a subset of
data to expensive monitoring systems while routing the full datasets to
EraSearch, other tools, or storage to keep costs low. When used with EraSearch,
EraStreams reduces the total cost of ownership for existing log management
solutions while preserving historical information in EraSearch for low-cost
object storage and fast search and query.
"Today, some companies may
generate over 100 terabytes of log data per day, and scale and pricing prevent
many organizations from ingesting more data," added Persen. "With EraSearch and
EraStreams, we can help you manage high volumes of data at a lower cost per GB
ingested - we give you the ability to ingest and make the data queryable in
real time. You should be able to find a needle in the haystack. With EraSearch
and EraStreams, you can economically ingest a petabyte of log data daily with
an average response time of less than 500 milliseconds."
