What are you storing the data with...the etchings on wings of fairies?

>Some blather about Splunk's "saved searches"

We talked to the company, explored every avenue. Our volume of data simply overwhelmed it. (Data from three Apache servers. Lol.)

I am 100% certain you know less than Splunk-The-Company, so our conversation is done here.



What are you storing the data with..

It's on a SAN. We'll probably migrate to local disks at some point. The pricing is typical SAN pricing[1].

* Our volume of data simply overwhelmed it. (Data from three Apache servers. Lol.)*

Yeah, well we do a lot more data than that.

[1] Take a look at the NetApp, Dell & EMC prices on http://blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes-on-a-budget-h..., or look at http://serverfault.com/questions/76725/whats-the-nominal-cos... and you'll be in the right price range.
