This whitepaper provides detailed information on how to deploy Splunk enterprise with specific ingestion volume per day with Isilon. This approach can be extended to other ingestion volume requirements (based on the SVA guidelines) by scaling the required number of PowerFlex rack nodes and optionally leveraging the Dell EMC Isilon scale-out NAS storage platform for cold bucket storage needs. The PowerFlex rack system provides standardized hardware and software configurations enabling Splunk customers with non-disruptive scalability to meet their performance and storage needs.

With Dell EMC PowerFlex rack, Splunk deployment gains a scalable, flexible and cost-effective operational intelligence platform that leverages PowerFlex software-defined storage and VMware for virtualizing the core Splunk components, while Isilon provides optional scale-out storage for cold data.
