Analytics tools such as Splunk provide an open platform that can access other data stores, including Hadoop and make data in Splunk available for accessing and sharing across the organization. In order to realize top performance from Splunk – especially for ingesting and searching data quickly – you require a corresponding fast, available, scalable storage platform. NetApp storage solutions for Splunk ensure that you can do faster Splunk searches while making Splunk deployment simpler, easier, and more scalable. In addition, Hadoop benefits from NetApp solutions by running jobs faster with higher throughput while using less capacity.
