Glassbeam search: big data analytics & object oriented UX framework

Published: 24 September 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Glassbeam Support is a cloud based Machine log data analytics and search application. It allows Data centers, Networking servers, OEMs and IT Enterprises to quickly search for data sources and insights related to any machine.
Due to the complexity of data within log files, the existing interface supported a lot of features, which were not aligned to actual user behavior. This made the product complex and various features were left unexplored. The existing system presented itself with inefficient navigation and performance latency issues. Glassbeam required a complete re-design of 'Search', which could be intuitive and scalable to different kinds of log files across domains.
To achieve this, an 'Object Oriented' user experience design framework was used where a 'Central Object' around which the entire application and functionalities could be aligned.
The redesigned application reduced the time to narrow down to problems and troubleshoot issues in minutes instead of days. The overall usability of the system was enhanced and it supported a broader number of use cases. It empowered enterprises with end-to-end log data analytics, support their support, RnD and Sales forecasting activities.
