Composed of Cisco UCS C-Series servers, Cisco Nexus switches, and NetApp E2800 hybrid storage systems, this groundbreaking infrastructure delivers superior performance for faster decision making and improved business agility. NetApp E-Series storage systems provide better performance, data availability, scalability, and data protection for Splunk workloads compared to commodity servers with internal drives. Together, the solution’s prevalidated architecture and modular scalability make it easy to deploy and scale as you grow. Proven, Affordable Performance Powered by the speed of NetApp E2800 hybrid flash storage systems, the NetApp Converged Infrastructure Solution for Splunk increases performance compared to commodity servers with internal storage, enabling you to search and analyze Splunk data in less than half the time. Recent testing that closely simulated real-world Splunk search performance showed conclusively that operations have much to gain from the NetApp storage approach. Searching was significantly faster with NetApp versus commodity servers with internal storage, on average up to 118% faster. Very dense searching was up to 35% faster, and rare search performance was up to 200% faster. NetApp installations have seen even faster search run times.
