If you’re trying to reduce the cost of analyzing observability data, the Cribl® Stream™ Return on Investment (ROI) Calculator shows how much you can save on infrastructure and compute costs. There are a lot of benefits to integrating Cribl Stream into your environment. Sream gives you the power of CHOICE, with a purpose-built Observability Pipeline that enables you to collect, reduce, transform, and route machine data from anywhere to anywhere – from a single interface. When our team explains what Stream does, potential customers often think it sounds too good to be true.
Reasons to Deploy Cribl Stream
While there are countless reasons to deploy Cribl Stream, one of the internal justifications for many customers’ initial investment is lowering infrastructure and compute costs. Log data is growing 25%-30% a year, and most organizations don’t have a solid plan to manage their growing observability data today and have no path toward managing their future growth.
Cribl Stream also gives you control over your ever-increasing data volumes by letting you trim unused data that has little-to-no analytical value or at least re-route it to a less expensive destination. These extraneous fields can account for as much as 50% of your log data. Why pay to ingest, analyze, or store duplicate or low-value data? With Stream, you pay less to do more with your data. And since you’re storing less in your system of analysis, you need fewer resources to analyze the data as well. It’s a win-win!
Cribl Stream is free to use up to 1TB/day with Cribl.Cloud so administrators can realize value from it right away. After they see how beneficial the tool can be in their environment, they often have to get other people in their organization to see it too. To help with that, we’ve released the Cribl Stream ROI Calculator.
Cribl Stream Return on Investment
Using this free ROI calculator, you can input your log analytics tool’s daily ingestion volume, your data retention period, and what kind of data reduction you think Stream will provide (30% is the default). Then, the calculator shows the annual savings in infrastructure costs that you can achieve by implementing a purpose-built end-to-end observability pipeline.
Once you discover the cost savings that Stream brings, you’ll be opened to a broader world of benefits. When you become a Cribl user, you don’t just get the use of gaining control over your observability data; you also get access to our user community. Join our Slack to ask questions, learn from other users, and share your own experiences as your expertise develops. If you run into any issues, head over to Cribl Curious to ask questions.
