Optimization of IT Log Data with Log Intelligence
Cyber attacks are getting sophisticated, necessitating early detection of malicious activity. Stringent government policies and compliances necessitate building robust log management systems. And, increased reliance on technology to support hybrid work models necessitates efficient management of extensive log data. Hence, log intelligence is in demand by organizations as they need robust systems to address the issues above and create secure and efficient log management.
Want to know the Log Management Trends in 2024 and Beyond?
  • CISOs face stringent government regulations, such as the current administration mandating 12-18 months of log retention.
  • Chief Enterprise Architects worry that the average cost of a single enterprise service outage is $400K and the average MTTR is over 7 hrs.
  • Companies such as Facebook lose $65 million and 4.8% of their stock valuation over a 5-hour outage.
  • Security breaches mar organizational reputation and prove a threat to business.
  • 91% of leaders agree that monitoring tools are siloed and domain-specific, complicating the log management landscape.
  • VP Cloud/IT Services acknowledge the accelerated pace of digital transformation post-COVID-19 and recognize the need for more sophisticated security monitoring and SIEM adoption.
  • Log management market size reaches $2.3 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $4.1 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 11.9%.

Build a Better vSAN
This white paper explores the development of a next-generation virtualized storage area network (vSAN) that provides high performance, data integrity, and cost-efficiency. Addressing the limitations of traditional VMware vSAN, it emphasizes the need for a solution that integrates seamlessly into a hypervisor, supports deduplication at the core, and offers robust data resiliency, including maintaining access during multiple hardware failures.
Building a superior Virtual Storage Area Network (vSAN) involves addressing traditional solutions' performance, resilience, and cost shortcomings. The next-generation vSAN, like VergeIO's VergeOS, integrates storage and hypervisor functionalities into a single efficient code base, matching the capabilities of dedicated storage arrays while maintaining the cost advantage of vSANs.

Key improvements include:
  • Hypervisor Integration: Seamless integration for better performance and scalability.
  • Cost Efficiency:  Eliminates expensive server hardware and storage controllers.
  • Built-in Deduplication: Core-level deduplication for minimal performance impact, maximum efficiency, and significant cost savings.
  • Intelligent Hardware Failure Protection: Enhanced resilience with data copies across multiple nodes and drives.
  • Advanced Snapshot Capabilities: Unlimited, efficient and independent snapshots.
The white paper "Build a Better vSAN" offers an in-depth analysis of these advancements, providing insights on improving vSAN performance, ensuring data integrity, and reducing storage costs. This approach sets a new standard in virtualized storage solutions, offering the reliability of dedicated storage arrays at vSAN prices.
