Product Overview

Mach5 is a cost-effective, adaptive, and converged platform enabling sub-second search and analytics over massive datasets.

With an autoscaling and storage-compute separated architecture, Mach5 has been shown to reduce costs by up to 50% without sacrificing performance, all while reducing operator toll.

Mach5 Search works with all the major Object Storage implementations in public and private clouds to enable unlimited data retention at the lowest cost. Just-in-time auto-scaling compute allows for unlimited scalability of data ingestion and queries

100 % ElasticSearch and OpenSearch API and Ecosystem Compatibility

Elasticsearch Compatibility

A fully - compatible ElasticSearch and OpenSearch API allows you to use existing applications, familiar tooling(like Kibana, OpenSearch Dashboards, Logstash, and Beats), and the de - facto standard search language - Elastic Query Language(EQL) - to find the needle in your haystack.

Simple, powerful, pipe - based query language

MQL Example

If you are familiar with Kusto Query Language or Splunk Query Language(SPL), you will feel right at home with the Mach5 query language.Mach5 query language is a simple pipe - based language that is easy to learn while still allowing the expression of complex queries, including search, joins, and aggregations.

Build interactive dashboards and notebooks on your data lake

Dashboard Export

Immediate feedback is a must when creating dashboards and performing iterative, ad - hoc analyses.Advanced indexing structures make this possible, even as data scales from hundreds of terabytes into petabytes.

Massive cost reduction

Description

Stop throwing data away due to costs. Mach5 Search drastically reduces costs by running as a stateless, cloud-native application that is fully-automated and self-managing. Data tiering and workload scaling is handled automatically out of the box. You only pay for what you use, when you use it. Since the application runs in your VPC, you never pay egress fees and sensitive data remains only where you can see it.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is Mach5 Search?

Mach5 is a modern search and analytics platform optimized for security, observability, and product analytics. It combines high performance with ultra-low operational overhead and integrates seamlessly with the modern data ecosystem.

2

How is Mach5 different from Elasticsearch or OpenSearch?

While Mach5 offers full API compatibility with OpenSearch, it differs drastically in its implementation. Mach5 was designed using a cloud-native architecture from the ground up by separating storage and compute, building on low-cost object stores, autoscaling as a first-principle, and aggressive use of caching to achieve sub-second query performance. This results in a high-performance, low-cost system that is easy to manage.

3

Can I use Mach5 with my existing data in BigQuery, Snowflake, or Databricks?

Yes, Mach5 integrates with existing data stores like Iceberg tables, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks, enabling federated queries without needing to move or duplicate your data.

4

Can I deploy Mach5 in my own cloud or on-prem?

Yes, Mach5 supports flexible deployment options including your own cloud environment (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP) or on-premises infrastructure using Minio.
