Case Study: Rent-A-Center achieves scalable, reliable logging and proactive anomaly detection with Logz.io

How Rent-A-Center Uses Logz.io’s Cognitive Insights to Tackle Irregularities in Log Data

Rent-A-Center, a Fortune 1000 rent-to-own retailer with thousands of stores and growing online operations, was modernizing with DevOps but struggling to maintain two ELK stacks (on-premise and cloud) that ingested over 100 GB/day. With no dedicated team to tune, upgrade, and stabilize those clusters, the company faced performance, reliability, and tooling drift issues and was often reactive to incidents.

Rent-A-Center moved to Logz.io’s managed ELK platform, using pre-built dashboards and Cognitive Insights to detect anomalies (including a detected internal penetration scan during piloting). By gradually redirecting log traffic to Logz.io, developers and operations gained faster correlation and troubleshooting, improved scalability and uptime, and freed IT to focus on core business priorities.
