ExtraHop Selects jSonar’s JSON Studio for Analytics Offering

LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 6 — jSonar today announced that JSON Studio, a MongoDB 2014 Innovation Award recipient, has been selected for use as part of ExtraHop’s Open Data Stream wire data analytics solution.

IT Operations Analytics (ITOA) solutions have been rightfully criticized because they create restrictive silos of data that can only be accessed by a given vendor’s user interface or visualization tool. This practice limits data freedom, restricts customer choice, and inhibits the creation of valuable insight. ExtraHop’s Open Data Stream Technology is ushering in a new paradigm for ITOA by giving enterprise IT the flexibility and freedom to stream valuable data sets from ExtraHop into an efficient Big Data platform. ExtraHop is expanding the means by which enterprises can achieve maximum IT and business value from their data by storing wire data in MongoDB and using jSonar’s JSON Studio advanced analytics capabilities to mine that data.

With Open Data Stream any wire data can be quickly stored as JSON data in MongoDB, the leading NoSQL database. Once in MongoDB, this data is accessed, analyzed and mined using JSON Studio, the leading JSON analytics platform for MongoDB. Users can slice-and-dice wire data, query wire data using any number of dimensions and conditions, search for patterns, run complex analytics, visualize data and even use statistical routines and machine learning algorithms from environments such as “R”. Using JSON Studio’s advanced visualization capabilities, problems can be discovered both through analysis as well as through visual discovery – enabling system and network administrators to effectively troubleshoot problems or ensure correct operations quickly and efficiently.

“We are delighted with the benefits our customers are getting from JSON Studio. This comprehensive suite of tools is easy to install, easy to use and is very powerful. Our customers told us how important good search and analytics capabilities are and we chose the leader in analytics for MongoDB” said Erik Glesa, SVP, Marketing and Business Development at ExtraHop. “The marriage of ExtraHop, MongoDB and JSON Studio creates a whole new paradigm for IT Operational Analytics.”

“We are excited to be a part of ExtraHop’s wire data analytics solution,” said Ron Bennatan, co-founder of jSonar. “ExtraHop captures data that is extremely valuable. Using JSON Studio to unlock this value gives ExtraHop customers insight that is unmatched in the Big Data industry.”
