Overview

Redpill Linpro CloudOps provides an Index/Search as a Service (ISaaS) offering. The service is built around OpenSearch, who aims to be comparable to ElasticSearch.

ISaaS is a fully self-serviced product. Redpill Linpro will monitor that the services are running, the product is upgraded etc. Capacity planning including data retention is the customer's responsibility, but Redpill Linpro can help managing and monitoring the service through cloud management.

Products like OpenSearch are often used for receiving and structuring events like logs, but it's also a powerful tool for storing, indexing, structuring, and retrieving data fast.

Product overview

Instance capacity

ISaaS is currently offered in three variants:

  • Single node instance, no SLA, business hours monitoring
  • Single node instance, 98% SLA and 24/7 operations

Server instances are provided from the Redpill Linpro Nordic Cloud (RLNC), and the nodes' capacity is set according to flavours available from Redpill Linpro Nordic Cloud Compute Services. The flavours can of course be scaled up and down when capacity requirement changes.
