InfoSight collects and analyzes more sensor data points every four hours,

than there are stars in our galaxy

>250B sensor values

>100MM configuration variables

>2B log events

370TData points since 2010

To put it in storage-relatable context, InfoSight collects, in just 8 hours, the

same amount as a much larger competitor has collected since the

inception of their telemetry years ago
