Imply Lumi enhances the scalability and efficiency of Splunk by providing a modern, cloud-native data layer that addresses the challenges of handling massive telemetry volumes in observability environments. As traditional index-first architectures struggle with the increasing data growth, organizations face trade-offs like reduced data retention and visibility gaps. Imply Lumi offers a solution by integrating directly with Splunk through Federated Search, allowing users to query extensive datasets without altering existing workflows or dashboards. It decouples compute and storage, enabling cost-effective and faster search performance, while maintaining the familiar Splunk interface. This approach mirrors the architectural evolution seen in business intelligence, where decoupling layers unlocked scalability and predictability. By enabling the affordable ingestion and search of high-volume logs, Imply Lumi expands the data accessible through Splunk, providing deeper visibility and maintaining operational continuity without increasing costs or complicating existing processes.
