Today, more than ever, organizations face a difficult balancing act: how to keep sensitive data fully under their control while still making it accessible and usable so teams can unlock the value and insights they need.
Industries such as financial services, healthcare, and government agencies often must comply with strict regulations that require data to remain in environments they directly own and manage. Yet locking that data away in one or more cloud object storage locations prevents it from being accessed and queried by the IT and security teams that need it. At the same time, as organizations expand into multicloud and hybrid environments, the need for a unified view of all data becomes even more urgent.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) with Cribl Lake!
What does Cribl Lake’s new BYOS offering entail?
BYOS is for organizations that want the most flexible cloud data management with the assurance of full data ownership. Whether you’re managing data in a single cloud or spanning multiple providers and regions, BYOS allows you to store data in your own cloud storage, such as Amazon S3 or Azure Blob, so your data remains under your control while still benefiting from Cribl’s turnkey provisioning and integration, and powerful data processing, management, and analytics capabilities.
Think of it this way:
Cribl-Managed Lake = fastest time to value
BYOS = maximum control and compliance
With BYOS, you get to have your cake and eat it too — and by cake, we mean ownership and control of your data, as well as flexibility to use Cribl for a unified view of federated data with seamless access and querying, no matter where data resides.
Benefits of Cribl Lake BYOS
