Secure and scalable log management solution by leveraging bi-directional cross-cluster replication of Elastic for a leading German car manufacturer
Client
The client is a leading German luxury automotive manufacturer with a strong focus on digital innovation. In addition to vehicle production, they operate an extensive suite of connected services and digital platforms, requiring secure, scalable log management to support global operations and compliance.
Project Context
The client needed to unify log management across its digital services with a scalable, secure, and high-availability architecture.
Challenges
Multiple independent log solutions led to poor availability and scalability.
Growing data volumes required structured ingestion and efficient storage.
Solution
Deployed Elasticsearch clusters with bi-directional cross-cluster replication.
Implemented ingest pipelines, retention policies, and secure role-based Kibana dashboards.
Handled production and non-prod environments.
Project Objectives
Ingest 100GB/day log data from multiple applications.
Ensure 18TB retention across hot/warm/cold tiers.
Implement role-based access and support high-availability through replication.
Solution Delivery
SquareShift designed a 16-node cluster with 18TB capacity and 100GB/day ingestion. They built secure, scalable pipelines and dashboards with cross-cluster replication for HA and compliance.
Testimonial
