Rob Charlton, cloud DevOps architect for Vertu Corp. Ltd., told John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Splunk.conf 2015 that Vertu uses DevOp tools to deploy Splunk; specifically, Ansible for DevOps to deploy a Splunk cluster. Charlton explained that prior to adopting Splunk, his small team used gut instinct and experience to decide if Vertu’s software was ready to launch. “In 2013, we started employing Splunk Enterprise to come up with a metric so we could do data-led decision making,” he said. “Splunk alerts scan data that comes through the [test] handsets.” A single craftsman assembles and signs each Vertu phone. The base is made from Grade 5 titanium, and the display is made from sapphire crystal — only a diamond can scratch it. The back is protected by hand-stitched leather. The Android phones come with a range of exclusive services, such as Vertu’s 24/7 “lifestyle manager,” which offers assistance, recommendations and priority bookings. @theCUBE #splunkconf
