Scalyr Accelerates Troubleshooting for Public Sector, Education Customers
October 31, 2018
Cornell, Vanderbilt, Palo Alto Unified School District Rapidly
Identify and Resolve Performance Issues with Modern Log Management
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today at EDUCAUSE
Annual Conference, Scalyr,
the provider of blazing-fast log management for both engineering and
operations, announced its public sector division. The public sector
division builds on early success with educational customers such as
Cornell University, Vanderbilt University, and Palo Alto Unified School
District (PAUSD), which rely on Scalyr to monitor their mission-critical
networks and applications in real-time.
Globally, education and government departments will spend
$587 billion on technology by 2022, according to Gartner. In the
education sector, engineers and network administrators need to drive
efficiency and address performance issues quickly in order to keep pace
with the needs of students, faculty, and parents. For visibility into
applications and systems, higher education organizations and K-12 school
districts – including Cornell, Vanderbilt and PAUSD – use Scalyr to
monitor and troubleshoot their systems throughout the development,
quality assurance and delivery processes.
“Schools and universities demand scale, security and compliance in order
to meet student, parent, and faculty expectations for reliable
services,” said Steve Newman, CEO and founder of Scalyr. “Organizations
in education and the public sector choose Scalyr to minimize the time
and cost required to track down system issues, freeing up resources to
focus on serving our next generation of students.”
Founded in 1865, Cornell University serves nearly 22,000 students across
several undergraduate and graduate units, including the top-ranked SC
Johnson College of Business. To streamline web application monitoring,
Cornell selected Scalyr for its ease of integration and fast, flexible
log searching, exploration, and reporting tools that make it easy to
surface and troubleshoot system issues.
Vanderbilt University, which enrolls over 12,000 students across four
undergraduate schools and six graduate programs, recently deployed
Scalyr for log aggregation and visibility into system behavior across
networks, applications, and firewall data. The university’s IT,
operations, and engineering teams chose Scalyr over other log management
solutions for ease of use, low cost of ownership, and overall
performance.
PAUSD serves 12,000 K-12 students in Palo Alto, Calif. The
high-performing public school district uses Scalyr to dramatically
reduce complexity and fix infrastructure problems as soon as they arise.
Following several unsuccessful years with a complex legacy log
management platform, PAUSD moved to Scalyr and found a nagging network
issue immediately after setup.
“During the Scalyr demo period, our team was able to resolve two
long-standing issues simply by looking at the time series graphs,” said
Derek Moore, chief technology officer at Palo Alto School District. “The
visualization of the syslog data from our network devices and built-in
support team that configured all the parsers for us made this a very
easy decision.”
