ChaosSearch announced its next-generation platform, ChaosSearch 2.0, a data lake engine for scalable log analysis.
ChaosSearch 2.0 instantly turns a company’s own cloud data lake into a hot, robust, streamlined analytics engine that speeds time-to-insights and cuts log analysis costs by up to 80 percent. It uniquely enables companies to analyze petabytes of data without adding compute or performing complex, labor-intensive processes, and without limiting data retention.
According to Thomas Hazel, Founder and CTO of ChaosSearch, “ChaosSearch 2.0 takes a completely different, entirely new approach. Built from the ground up to achieve the true promise of cloud data lakes, ChaosSearch makes it as easy for customers to get insights out of their lake as it is to dump data into it. While other solutions require DBAs and data engineers to set up new workloads, extract data from storage, manually transform it, and then load it into a vendor’s analytic database, ChaosSearch 2.0 customers simply stream any amount of data into their own Amazon S3 data lake, where our solution automatically transforms and analyzes it. Our distributed architecture and proprietary indexing and compression technologies enable businesses to gain new and better insights, quickly and at a fraction of the cost.”
