Summary

NetApp, a leading vendor in all-flash array and integrated systems, enhanced its OnCommand Insight (OCI) monitoring tool by embedding Elasticsearch, significantly improving its functionality and customer value. Originally using MySQL, Lucene, and Cassandra for data management, NetApp transitioned to Elasticsearch to better handle data visualization and trend forecasting, particularly in hybrid cloud environments. This shift allowed OCI to provide advanced features like multiple timeline visualizations and hypervisor averages, which were previously unavailable. As part of their ongoing evolution, NetApp continues to integrate components of the Elastic Stack, such as Logstash and Beats, into OCI. This integration has been well-received, demonstrating the benefits of embedding Elasticsearch and machine learning to optimize operations and resource management, while also highlighting the need for expandable plugins to meet evolving data challenges.
