Splunk

Company Profile

Splunk was founded as an alternative to traditional IT management technologies. These systems were built on relational databases and were not architected to scale to today’s massive volumes of machine data. They also lacked the granular visibility, deep into the IT stack, needed to manage scaled-out, highly-distributed infrastructures.

Splunk is the engine for machine data. It is software which collects, indexes and harnesses any machine data generated by an organisation’s IT systems and infrastructure - physical, virtual and in the cloud.

Machine data is unstructured, massive in scale and contains a categorical record of all transactions, systems, applications, user activities, security threats and fraudulent activity.
