Increase Splunk Storage Scalability While Reducing Cost
Cloudian® HyperStore® and Splunk SmartStore reduce big data storage costs by 60%+ while increasing storage scalability. Together they provide an exabyte-scalable storage pool that is separate from your Splunk indexers.
With SmartStore, Splunk Indexers retain data only in hot buckets that contain newly indexed data. Older data resides in the warm buckets and is stored within the scalable and highly cost-effective Cloudian cluster.
Challenge: Extract More Value from Splunk Data
Splunk provides real-time insights into log files and many other types of machine data, but before Splunk SmartStore was introduced, customers had to add additional indexers to store the data, at a premium price. Now customers can offload warm and cold buckets to low-cost object storage.
Download this white paper from Jason Bloomberg of Intellyx to learn how Splunk customers are able to retain data longer, run advanced analytics on larger data sets, and extract more business value from their Splunk environment overall, with object storage.
The Solution
Splunk SmartStore and Cloudian HyperStore together let you decouple the compute and storage layers, so you can independently scale those resources to best serve workload demands.
SOLUTION BENEFITS
- 60+% TCO savings vs indexer-based storage
- Independently scale compute and Splunk storage resources
- On-prem data lake with exabyte scalability
- Modular design for non-disruptive storage growth
- Integrates seamlessly with AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Deploy as software or appliance(s)
Optimize your Splunk platform to run like Splunk Cloud: A high performance but small scale run-time environment (like Amazon EC2) and a very low-cost capacity storage tier (like S3) and you get cloud scale and economics with a faster and leaner indexer environment, reducing your Splunk infrastructure costs by up to 2/3.
7 Benefits of Using Cloudian Object Storage with Splunk SmartStore
With Splunk SmartStore, warm and cold indexes are moved to low-cost object storage, lowering costs by 60%+. Because Cloudian object storage can be scaled to an exabyte — and expanded without interrupting workflows — it allows more data to be ingested more cost-effectively.

Secure
Cloudian HyperStore’s Object Lock Compliance Mode feature protects your organization’s data from ransomware attacks. It also meets securities industry requirements for preserving record objects in a non-rewriteable, non-erasable format until the specified retention period has expired and any associated legal holds have been released.
According to the Cohasset Associates’ report, Cloudian HyperStore meets the requirements of:
- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 17 CFR § 240.17a-4(f), which regulates exchange members, brokers or dealers
- Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 4511(c), which defers to the format and media requirements of SEC Rule 17a-4(f)
- Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in 17 CFR § 1.31(c)- (d), which regulates commodity futures trading
- CFTC Rule 1.31(c)-(d)
