GDIT/McQueen Solutions (GDIT) solved a growing need to collect, store, and analyze petabytes of machine data that could not be handled by existing tools at a large US government agency. Selected as the foundation for enterprise logging, the Elastic Stack satisfied enterprise-wide mission needs. Today, the GDIT Elastic cluster entails a multi-petabyte, highly available cluster that dramatically improves search speeds from hours to seconds.
