Law firm uses predictive analytics platform to escape spreadsheet hell
When Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. acquired Nimble Storage Inc. earlier this year, it gained a predictive analytics platform called InfoSight. As HPE has learned, that platform is being eagerly adopted by businesses who are clamoring for new tools that can analyze issues across their entire install base, according to Rod Bagg (pictured, right), vice president of analytics and customer support, Data Center Infrastructure Group, at HPE.
For the law firm of Baker Botts, this has given its storage administrators more freedom to diagnose problems early and leverage the full capabilities of machine learning. “Now I’ve got the opportunity to do something even better and cooler,” said Paul Sabin (pictured, left), senior network infrastructure manager at Baker Botts LLP.
Sabin described his experience with InfoSight during a visit to theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s mobile live-streaming studio. Sabin and Bagg answered questions from hosts John Furrier (@furrier) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante) during HPE Discover in Las Vegas, Nevada. They discussed how the new tools have affected information technology work at the law firm and future plans for predictive analytics. (*Disclosure below.)
Analytics platform replaces old processes
InfoSight is a predictive cloud analytics platform that uses machine learning to foresee and prevent problems that customers might experience in their IT systems. Before integrating the InfoSight product, part of Sabin’s job was to pull statistics to help manage system workloads and evaluate problems. These were loaded onto Excel spreadsheets.
“I was in spreadsheet hell,” Sabin explained.
Now, he relies on the InfoSight tool planner that tells him what he needs for bandwidth based on real-time data and loads it automatically in far less time than it took before, he stated. “I’m not going to tell my executive team that it only took me five minutes,” Sabin said.
InfoSight takes 25 million pieces of information from every installed array every day and places them into a database to build “wellness” rules. “We’re giving our customers visibility at a very deep level into how the systems are performing,” Bagg said.
InfoSight will be extended into HPE’s product line, starting with 3PAR, the company’s flash-optimized data storage systems, he concluded.
