Search and Analytics
“Search, and you will find how simple you can make the complex”
An important component for analyzing data is a really good search tool and being able to do it in real time. If you can then combine it with both in-house developed solutions as well as adapted COTS, the benefit effect is great. It is about everything from collecting logs or indexing millions of documents for quick searching and that there are alternative possibilities to make visible and present the results so that relevant tools can streamline and simplify your life.
The challenge
Most of our customers themselves have a high level of technical knowledge and are driving development in their field. This means that in many cases we act as a sounding board for choosing a solution or integration. Perhaps you first want to test yourself on a smaller scale and thus also define your requirements and wishes in order to later get a more comprehensive picture of the entire solution and its architecture. Not least, you want to get a handle on the cost of operation, development and management and make a comparison with COTS or an existing solution.
In many cases, it is also about functionality that has not been realized before and where you quickly need to get search management in place, a supplement. Among other things, we deliver extended data and log management solutions to existing COTS implementations.
The solution
Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Beat)is simple and scalable for search-driven solutions with tools to analyze data. It is an intuitive monitoring and management tool that provides visualization and control.
By combining Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana and Beat, you get real-time insights from both structured and unstructured data sources. With Elastic, you can start on a small scale and then grow in step with the requirements and volumes found in the business.
Supplier
We have chosen to partner with Elastic. Partly because the product is open source, it is free and because there is a large network to discuss and exchange ideas and solutions with.
And because support and extended functionality is available via subscription.
Elasticsearch is one of the most popular search products on the market that is used extensively but often under completely different names as it is ok to modify and distribute the product.
