Secure data is superior data: A security-first approach to the DoD Data Strategy
From a technical standpoint, starting with secure data is a strategic way to map your architecture and decide on technology investments. If data is not secure, then it is impossible to effectively achieve any other guiding principle of the DoD Data Strategy. Security should serve as the essential foundation for meeting all the other goals, of data being interoperable, … [Read more...] about Secure data is superior data: A security-first approach to the DoD Data Strategy
What’s the difference? Elastic and Splunk data tiers
Layer A: Data is usually first written here, and we have the best possible performance for indexing and search.Layer B: Data is moved here from other layers and it is searchable, although the performance is not as good as the above layer. Data is backed up to an object store and does not require any user action for archival or restore — it is done automatically by the … [Read more...] about What’s the difference?
