Digital Resilience Pays Off

Today, I’m excited to introduce Splunk Enterprise Release 6.4 and the latest version of Splunk Cloud. For Splunk Enterprise customers, the biggest news is that you can lower your cold data storage costs by 40-80%.
We know you’re under pressure to retain more data – and for longer – because of security and compliance. There’s also an increasing demand to optimize your business by analyzing historical data. This data is important but less frequently accessed, so now you can choose to reduce its footprint by 60% on average, and up to 80% for some data types.
How? We can now remove a part of the Splunk optimization data (TSIDX) from your original data, letting you trade optimal search performance for a big reduction in storage cost. You can access the data in all of the normal ways, and for many search and reporting activities there is little impact. But for “needle in the haystack” ad-hoc searches, the performance will no longer be optimal.
Most larger customers will find it compelling. For example, we estimate that a 10 TB/day customer with only a one year retention policy can save more than $4M USD over 5 years. Your account team can help you to assess what data is best for this new option, and how you can cut your storage costs.
There’s much more to 6.4, and the rest is for both Splunk Cloud and Splunk Enterprise customers:
