CHAOSSEARCH is building a new standard (a new category) in data analytics. Beyond the cost and complexity of Warehousing, Hadoop, or even Elasticsearch solutions. CHAOSSEARCH is a new kind of big data platform that delivers both search and analytics at a price and simplicity yet experienced.

For a monitoring service, uptime and reliability is of course a critical feature: customers are placing trust in the service to detect problems and deliver timely and accurate alerts.

Your business needs to know if users are suffering and what proportion are impacted.
