Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) (“Elastic”), the company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, today announced the beta of searchable snapshots, a new capability that makes it possible to cost-effectively store and search more data to drive critical business decisions, enhance revenue, and reduce costs.
Searchable snapshots provide a tiered approach to searching across data that is saved in different classes of storage, addressing concerns including operational complexity, reduced system resiliency, and query limits. Elastic customers will be able to minimize costs with low-cost object stores such as Amazon S3, Azure Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. Initially, Elastic is supporting a new lower-cost cold tier of storage, which offloads redundant copies of data to the object stores to drive savings.
With searchable snapshots and the launch of a new cold storage tier, customers will benefit from:
In a future release, Elastic customers will be able to leverage a frozen tier of storage, where all data can be kept in low-cost object stores. This will unlock the opportunity to drive insights from virtually unlimited lookbacks, with low cost data retention on years of data. Elastic users will be able to ingest new types of data that they previously may not have considered, driving new innovative projects and use cases.
