In Order to Find The Needle, You Need to Retain a Haystack

RainStor enables security solution providers to retain large volumes of network log and event data which ultimately helps end-user IT groups to provide broader levels of security compliance by quickly responding to auditors, consistently implementing and enforcing policies but most importantly keeping larger data sets to help determine vulnerabilities by monitoring for patterns of potential breaches.

Every IT network group today keeps as much log and event data as possible but due to the massive volume, it can often become cost-prohibitive to store without compressing or reducing the data set. Customers today are demanding that appliances keep bigger data sets because sophisticated algorithms can better combat potential security breaches if they are modeled from a larger data set spread out over an extended timeframe.

Immediate Gains:

• IT’s access to bigger data sets enable more sophisticated algorithms to combat potential security threats.
• Low cost storage and easily scale to meet large volumes of network log and event data.

Long Term Gains:

• Risk avoidance on potential security breaches which not only enable compliance but also provide new opportunities by having greater network insight.

Providers of dedicated security solutions can benefit from an embedded RainStor database by:

• Retaining a substantially extended history delivering greater value in a significantly reduced infrastructure footprint
• Strengthening the compliance stance by enabling replay across a greater depth of historical transactions
• Retaining a massively deep archive of header metadata and flow history either on-board or off-board – potentially in a cloud based archive service.
