Solve Performance Monitoring

Business Challenge

A major multinational oil company needed to monitor the performance of their critical compute and network systems used by geologists to visualize the earth when searching for oil. The performance of these systems must meet or exceed the minimum requirements to ensure the geologists can operate support drilling operations. Additionally, network bandwidth on remote and offshore drilling sites must be monitored to ensure that critical data receives the highest priority.

The oil company spent two years trying to use traditional ETL tools, such as SQL Server and Tableau, to monitor the performance WITH NO SUCCESS.

Solution

In 4 days, Conducive was able to build a working proof of concept (POC) using Splunk. The POC imported live data and gave the customer real, actionable results. Conducive then spent the next two months building out all of the requested functionality with all of the data sources.

Business Impact

The oil company is able to monitor both network and compute performance allowing the geologists to locate oil without interruption. Additionally, the team was able to identify excessive network bandwidth users and uses, such as watching Facebook and YouTube videos. This saved the company money because they did not have to increase network bandwidth using satellite down-links.
