Value proposition

Reduces observability costs by up to 80% and improves performance through a 200x data compression ratio, while enabling real-time debugging without the need for code redeployment.

Products and solutions

["Unified Diskless Data Lake","Real-time Debugging & Dynamic Instrumentation Tool","Security Observability Module","Telemetry Correlation & Analytics Engine","Enterprise Dashboard & Visualization Interface"]

Unique value

Utilizes a 'diskless' architecture that allows for dynamic instrumentation of code in production, enabling developers to add logs or traces on-demand without restarting services or 'change-anxiety'.

Target customer

DevOps teams, Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), Security Operations (SecOps), and large-scale enterprises with high telemetry data volumes.

Industries served

["Information Technology & Services","Cybersecurity","Software Development","Fintech","Cloud Infrastructure"]

Technology advantage

Proprietary probabilistic indexing and compression technology that achieves up to 200x compression, significantly lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) compared to traditional disk-heavy observability tools.

How they differentiate

Utilizes a proprietary 'diskless' data engine and probabilistic indexing to achieve 200x data compression and 80% lower TCO. It features dynamic instrumentation, allowing developers to add logs and traces in production without code redeployment or service restarts.
