Is all observability data worth the same cost? If you guessed no, then you’d obviously be correct. Anyone familiar with the very nature of gaining targeted observability knows that some data points hold more value than others. Yet, many observability platforms still treat all types of log data the same, and as a result, related costs remain uniform. One of the most persistent observability challenges today is the cost of indexing log data.

A hybrid infrastructure brings business benefits but it also brings new challenges. Migrating workloads to the cloud is a complex operation that generates more data than engineering teams can adequately manage. Traditional monitoring tools are limited in helping teams find and fix problems during and after a cloud migration. This can throw business strategies off course, limit customer value and hurt the bottom line.

Resilience has become the new strategic imperative for manufacturers during these testing times. As the world’s challenges make headlines, so do the innovative responses of manufacturing leaders. Savvy manufacturers automate, overhaul fundamental processes, modernize their security posture and reduce their CO2 footprint. Forward-focused organizations double down on their cloud investment to become more agile and resilient. And none of it is possible without data.

In the past decade, we've seen explosive growth in the adoption of the cloud-based infrastructure model. IT organizations are increasingly choosing to reduce their up-front investments in IT infrastructure by deploying their applications into cloud environments. These environments offer on-demand availability of data storage and computing power that organizations need to handle high volumes of data and growing demand for application access and services.
