Elastic Stack Analytics
for SaaS Document Management Provider
SaaS providers are all about efficiency. Efficiency enables them to scale their customers with low marginal costs of operations.
Our client is facing new compliance obligations with hundreds of servers producing a large volume of transaction log data. They realized proprietary analytics solutions that scale up instead of scaling out would not keep up.
ConvX architected and implemented Elastic Stack to cost-effectively scale out on commodity servers. Elastic’s open source technologies fit their DevOps culture.
Elastic Stack exceeded their use case requirements, providing application performance management as well as SIEM and compliance capabilities. Elasticsearch Cross-Site Replication provides automated cluster failover and disaster recovery with zero RTO.

- Enabled cross platform analytics by normalizing log formats to the Elastic Common Schema with custom ingest pipelines and parsers
- Avoided disruption by integrating the client’s current log technologies
- Customized the installation to use the client’s preferred package manager, minimizing operational change
- Scripted deployment and configurations for DevOps automation
- Automated backup and zero RTO disaster recovery with Elastic’s cross cluster replication
