![]() While needs will vary by customer use case, our experience shows the efficiencies in the Elastic Stack and Elastic data lifecycle management allow the Elasticsearch Warm Tier, Kibana, and Proxy servers can be supported by 1 physical CPU to 2 vCPUs and the Cold Tier can be upwards of 4 vCPUs to a physical CPU.īecause Elasticsearch tiers data on independent data nodes versus multiple mount points on a single data node or indexer, the multiple types and classes of software-defined storage defined for independent HCI clusters can be easily leveraged between Elasticsearch clusters to address data temperatures. The Elastic Stack tends to take advantage of hyperthreading and resource overcommitment more effectively. While this is admittedly like the VMware guidance for some similar analytics platforms, these VMs tend to consume a significantly smaller CPU footprint per data node. We would recommend sizing for 1 physical CPU to 1 virtual CPU (vCPU) for Elasticsearch Hot Tier along with the management and control plane resources. Additionally, the Elastic Stack is also significantly more CPU efficient than some alternative products improving the cost-effectiveness of deploying Elastic with VMware or other virtualization technologies. With the current ability to support up to 112 cores and 6TB of RAM in a single 2RU Dell server, Elasticsearch is an attractive application for virtualization. Elasticsearch data nodes tend to have average allocations of 8-16 cores and 64GB of RAM. Virtualization has long been a strategy for achieving more efficient resource utilization and data center density. Additionally, the Elastic Stack can be deployed on Kubernetes clusters, therefor admins can also choose to leverage VMware Tanzu for Kubernetes management. VxFlex admins use their preferred hypervisor and VxFLEX OS and for VxRail it is done with VMware ESX and vSAN. However, unlike bare-metal deployments, HCI also scales vertically by adding resources dynamically to Elasticsearch data nodes or any other Elastic Stack roles through virtualization. HCI also uses a scale-out deployment model that allows for easy, seamless scalability horizontally by adding additional nodes to the cluster(s). ![]() Data nodes can be added to an Elasticsearch cluster to provide additional compute and storage resources. The Elastic Stack, and Elasticsearch specifically, is designed for scale-out. It will be shown how the features of HCI provide distinct benefits and cost savings as an integrated solution for the Elastic Stack. ![]() In March 2020, Dell Technologies validated the Elastic Stack running on our VxFlex family of HCI 2. Platforms designed for scale-out performance running the Elastic Stack provides the ability to analyze and correlate data in near real-time. With the Elastic Stack, organizations can collect data from across the enterprise, normalize the format, and enrich the data as desired. Elasticsearch is an end-to-end solution for searching, analyzing, and visualizing machine data from diverse source formats. Elasticsearch is an open-source, distributed, scalable, enterprise-grade search engine based on Lucene. The Elastic Stack is a collection of four open-source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, and Beats. We show below why both HCI offerings are highly efficient and effective platforms for a truly scalable Elastic Stack deployment. VxRail is the only fully integrated, pre-configured, and pre-tested VMware HCI system powered with VMware vSAN. Dell Technologies also offers the VxRail HCI platform for VMware-centric environments. VxFlex OS is the software that creates a server and IP-based SAN from direct-attached storage as an alternative to a traditional SAN infrastructure. VxFlex is a Dell Technologies developed, hypervisor agnostic, HCI platform integrated with high-performance, software-defined block storage. Local resources from each server in the cluster are combined to create virtual pools of compute and storage with multiple performance tiers. ![]() The breadth of server offerings in the Dell PowerEdge portfolio gives system architects many options for designing the right blend of compute and storage resources. HCI integrates the compute and storage resources from a cluster of servers using virtualization software for both CPU and disk resources to deliver flexible, scalable performance and capacity on demand. Dell Technologies is an Elastic Technology Partner 1 This blog covers some basics of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), some Elastic Stack fundamentals, and the benefits of deploying Elastic Stack on HCI. ![]() The Elastic Stack is useful for a wide range of applications including observability (logging, metrics, APM), security, and general-purpose enterprise search. The Elastic Stack, also known as the “ELK Stack”, is a widely used, collection of software products based on open source used for search, analysis, and visualization of data. ![]()

Adobe also included Audition 2.0 as part of its Adobe Production Studio bundle.Īdobe Audition 3 was released on November 8, 2007. New features included Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) support, VST ( Virtual Studio Technology) support, new mastering tools (many provided by iZotope), and a redesigned UI. In the track controls section one could select the input and output for each track (the program supported multiple multi-channel sound cards), select "record", "solo", and "mute", and access the effects rack. ![]() Multitrack View supported up to 128 digital audio mono or stereo tracks at up to 32-bit resolution. The current version included two sections. With this release, Audition (which the music recording industry had once seen as a value-oriented home studio application, although it has long been used for editing by radio stations) entered the professional digital audio workstation market. Adobe then released Audition v1.5 in May 2004 major improvements over v1 included pitch correction, frequency space editing, a CD project view, basic video editing and integration with Adobe Premiere, as well as several other enhancements.Īdobe Audition 2 was released on January 17, 2006. It had bug fixes but no new features and was essentially a more polished Cool Edit Pro 2.1 under a different name. Adobe then renamed Cool Edit Pro to "Adobe Audition".Īdobe Audition was released on August 18, 2003. The popular audio formats and containers supported by Cool Edit with built-in codecs or plugins were Fraunhofer MP3, LAME MP3, Dolby AC3, DTS, ACM Waveform, PCM waveform, AIFF, AU, CDA, MPEG-1 Audio, MPEG-2 Audio, AAC, HE-AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, True Audio, WavPack, QuickTime MOV and MP4 (import only), ADPCM, RealMedia, WMA Standard, WMA Professional, WMA Lossless and WMA Multichannel.Īdobe purchased Cool Edit Pro from Syntrillium Software in May 2003 for $16.5 million, as well as a large loop library called "Loopology". The software had an SDK and supported codec plugins (FLT filters), and a wide range of import/export format plugins were written by the developer community to open and save in a number of audio compression formats. When MP3 became popular, Cool Edit licensed and integrated the original Fraunhofer MP3 encoder. Cool Edit also included plugins such as noise reduction and FFT equalization.Įver since the earliest versions, Cool Edit 2000 and Cool Edit Pro supported a large range of import/export codecs for various audio file formats. Cool Edit Pro v2 added support for real-time non-destructive processing, and v2.1 added support for surround sound mixing and unlimited simultaneous tracks (up to the limit imposed by the computer hardware). Audio processing, however, was done in a destructive manner (at the time, most computers were not powerful enough in terms of processor performance and memory capacity to perform non-destructive operations in real-time). Syntrillium later released Cool Edit Pro, which added the capability to work with multiple tracks as well as other features. The full version was useful and flexible, particularly for its time. Originally developed by Syntrillium as Cool Edit, the program was distributed as crippleware for Windows computers. Syntrillium Software was founded in the early 1990s by Robert Ellison and David Johnston, both former Microsoft employees. featuring both a multitrack, non-destructive mix/edit environment and a destructive-approach waveform editing view. * American English ,* British English, * Mandarin Chinese, * French, * German, * Italian, * Japanese, * Korean, * Portuguese, * SpanishĪdobe Audition is a digital audio workstation developed by Adobe Inc. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the short and long run, the best way to increase survey participation rates is to share results quickly and openly. Putting participation rates into perspective is often one of the first steps towards a healthier attitude to employee feedback that your organization can make. How to increase employee survey participation rates Sometimes there will be reasons for even the above participation rates to be difficult, and one can certainly still get a good statistical estimate from smaller samples in large companies. Companies of 1000+ can probably aim for a participation rate of around 65% as their lower bound – even though higher rates allow a stronger sense of involvement psychologically. As we move to larger companies we can scale our expectations down – with 500 employees we will probably get a good sense of where we’re at with a 70% rate of participation, so 70-80% is a good benchmark. At Culture Amp, we usually recommend an 80-90% rate to be a good minimum benchmark, as it allows us to hear from 4 out of 5 people on average. In small companies or teams (less than 50), we should be aiming a little higher than the 65-85% range. These are rates that political scientists and market researchers can only dream of. Generally, employee survey participation rates fall between the 65-85% range. In employee surveys, we mostly talk about participation rates well above 50% (the rate achieved in US elections). In employee surveys, we are not trying to generalize from a relatively small sample to a much larger population like we often are in customer or political research. So, having a 100% response rate is sometimes associated with poorer quality data – and it is the quality of data that we should be focused on, not the quantity. all ‘strongly agree’ or ‘strongly disagree’). In fact, a 100% participation rate can be a bad sign, as it's usually accompanied by comments about coercion and a large number of missing responses or unmeaningful responses (e.g. We recently realized that one of the companies with the lowest engagement scores (in the last 12 months) in our platform had a 100% participation rate. Is 100% participation in a staff survey good? However, the relationship is nowhere near perfect, and there does appear to be a trade-off effect above the 85-90% mark. In other words, they are a measure of how engaged employees are with the survey and feedback process.Īt Culture Amp, we have also done some analyses and found a moderate relationship between participation rates and employee engagement levels. It says 15% or 25%, or 30% and they only waited on you for a minute," another local resident said.Survey response rates (or participation rates as we call them) are often a measure of engagement. "Sometimes it doesn't give you an option. What part of pick-them-yourself strawberries deserves a tip? But some people argue even if you serve yourself, give a small tip, if any. "My family went strawberry picking on Saturday and they prompted us for a tip," said Rossman. What people don't appreciate is something called "tip creep" when seemingly every place requests a tip. "Remember 2020 when the pandemic set in and everybody was over-tipping even for takeout food?
