CHAOSSEARCH Revolutionized Log Search Analytics, Signals More Breakthroughs in 2020

CHAOSSEARCH, Inc., the company that turns cloud storage into a searchable analytic database, announced a strong close to FY 2019. Less than a year after launching its data platform, CHAOSSEARCH reported that its disruptive approach to log analytics has transformed the way businesses store, search, and query a never-ending stream of machine data generated by SaaS and software-driven businesses, at high performance and low cost. The company also pointed to advancements in 2020 aimed at DevOps, data engineers, and product owners.

"It's virtually impossible for businesses to get value out of rapidly growing data without breaking the bank. Legacy log analytics tool sets like the ELK Stack require massive resources to build and manage, are a bear to scale, and have prohibitive data retention costs," said Les Yetton, CEO, CHAOSSEARCH. "CHAOSSEARCH changed all that in 2019 with the only data platform that's 100% based on durable cloud storage. We revolutionized log data analytics by transforming the customer's own cheap and secure Amazon S3 object storage into a database with high performance, infinite scale, very low price, and universal access."

"Log analytics architectures are broken. CHAOSSEARCH is an entirely new approach. It's a complete ELK stack delivered as a managed service without the cost, complexity or instability of an Elasticsearch database. It's based on our new indexing engine and distributed compute fabric running completely on the user's Amazon S3 cloud storage. With integrated Kibana and all the APIs companies need, CHAOSSEARCH is a highly performant, scalable alternative to ELK at 20% of the cost," said Thomas Hazel, CTO and Founder, CHAOSSEARCH. "Stay tuned for more innovations in 2020 that make it exceedingly easy and cost-effective for IT ops, product owners, and engineers to get timely insights into applications, infrastructure, and security."

"CHAOSSEARCH has completely transformed the way we see, analyze, store, and manage data at Transeo. Due to the nature of the student educational records we work with, we need to retain all data and log files for 10 years after their creation to comply with our most stringent client retention policies," said Jimmy McDermott, CTO at Transeo. "The CHAOSSEARCH platform has helped us ground our product decisions in data because searching through access logs and spreadsheets that are far too big for Excel is now as simple as clicking a button. I wish that we had CHAOSSEARCH from day one. I highly recommend the platform for anyone looking to genuinely increase their understanding of their data while reducing their storage, query, and analytics costs."

2019 CHAOSSEARCH innovations and achievements that fueled customer traction include:

Distributed architecture that separates compute from storage. First in log analytics, customers can scale compute and storage resources independently based on data volume, and have unparalleled flexibility to add users, data, and workloads.

Built on cloud storage - CHAOSSEARCH leverages cloud storage as a back end data store. Cloud storage is scalable, secure, distributed, and inexpensive.

Disruptive pricing – Based on a new index, architecture, and approach, CHAOSSEARCH is able to deliver high-performance log analytics at a reduction in costs up to 80% compared to conventional solutions.

Security: HIPAA- and PCI-compliant plus Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type I certification, all of which validate that the CHAOSSEARCH platform meets strict data security and privacy standards.

CHAOSSEARCH is a multi-API, cloud-native data platform that turns durable cloud storage into an intelligent, high-performance search and analytic database. Unlike other vendor offerings, customers do not move data into CHAOSSEARCH. They simply dump data into their own cloud storage, such as on Amazon S3, where CHAOSSEARCH discovers and indexes it, providing instant search and analytics across multiple terabytes of data. And since it's based on cloud storage data retention is not an issue. Customers can search months and years of data at high performance and low cost. Continue reading.

Protection Dog Provider Full Contact K9 Begins Tenth Year in Business

Full Contact K9 Owner and CEO, Evan Dunbar, is celebrating ten years of successful operation. Based both in the Atlanta area and in Silicon Valley, CA, the company provides trained high-end protection dogs to clients throughout North America and includes in-residence handler training for the new dog owner.

For the past ten years, Full Contact has worked with individuals and families to provide and train hand-selected animals for a variety of unique situations. As the anniversary approaches, Dunbar wants to emphasize that Full Contact K9 is not just about training exceptional dogs. "We train the dogs first," he explains, "but it is important to make the owners comfortable with what the dogs can do and how to properly communicate and handle them. It's gratifying to be recognized as a trainer, but for best results, the approach must be comprehensive and focus heavily on instructing the client as well."

The in-residence handler training acquaints the owners and their family with the dog's abilities and commands used. The course is personalized to suit each client and is intended to ensure that the handler remains in control of the animal at all times. Says Dunbar, "It's essential to develop a relationship which must be built on mutual trust between the dog and his family ."

Full Contact's clients are people with busy lives, for whom a well-trained protection dog is an essential asset. Many utilize layers of security measures, but as Dunbar notes, "Different approaches are better for different situations. Our team of world-class dog handlers and trainers are experienced with providing clients with a companion who is a noble and reliable protector. No human, technology, or self-defense weapon can offer the keen senses of a trained dog." Read this for more information.

Dunbar continues, "Technology and personal bodyguards do play an important role in security for very high profile clients, of course, but for the needs of many, a fully trained dog is the perfect answer and provides unparalleled peace of mind." As Full Contact begins its tenth year, Dunbar is committed to continuously providing clients with exceptional quality, service, and value.

Full Contact K9 is a full-service dog provider. The company offers finished dogs, European German Shepherd puppies, and in some cases, trains the client's current animal. More information about Full Contact K9 and their dogs can be found at https://www.fullcontactk9.com/

The Vector library was created to help their graphics keep up with the move toward smaller and larger platforms, while still maintaining their aesthetically appealing image.

All graphics are embedded within the control software to provide a consistent style on any BAS. Read latest news here.
