Data Deluge at the Edge
More organizations are realizing the significant benefits of edge computing. This distributed computing framework brings data transfer and storage closer to the data sources themselves to improve response times and save bandwidth. While edge computing is emerging as a driver of innovation, the process of identifying and gathering data in large quantities across multiple physical and virtual sources can be incredibly complex, tedious and costly.
Extends Splunk’s disruptive technology to highly fragmented environments
Splunk Edge Hub streamlines edge data collection and investigation by breaking down the barriers and silos of data access across physical and virtual environments and acting as a data aggregator from other vendors’ platforms. Working right out of the box, the device can be placed in a physical environment or on top of a customer’s existing OT hardware and easily configured to immediately collect, collate and stream data to the Splunk platform.
When combined with the Splunk platform, Splunk Edge Hub enables customers to:
- Monitor environmental conditions, including water, temperature, humidity and gasses to quickly and efficiently identify and remediate problematic conditions.
- Perform predictive analytics to identify anomalies in manufacturing processes and surface early indications of equipment maintenance needs or outages, to minimize operational downtime.
- Achieve more comprehensive visibility across IT and OT environments to better detect, investigate and remediate threats and IT stressors from a single platform.
- Build custom solutions through industry experts across environments that are historically difficult to extract data from, including transportation, oil and gas and supply chain, among others.
