“Almost every company that I have talked to, has complained to me about their log storage complexity and cost,” said Prabhat Sharma, founder, ZincSearch. “With ELK stack on one side and expensive hosted solutions – the majority of them with Elasticsearch underneath – on another side, we needed a modern easy use and cost-effective solution that elegantly solves the problem. ZincSearch provides a modern search platform that alleviates the log search and analytics problem.”

Unstructured data is an incredibly valuable business asset. However, as organisations experience massive influxes of unstructured data from disparate sources, extracting full value from their data becomes more difficult. Zinc, a next-generation, private search engine from ZincSearch, brings order to the chaos, enabling organizations to quickly and effectively query their datasets and extract actionable insight.

Founded by Prabhat Sharma, a former solutions architect at AWS, ZincSearch was born from a realisation that major enterprise customers were experiencing significant cost and maintainability challenges in querying and managing their data.
