Everything in one place.
Managing data centers in silos used to make sense. Things change. Distributed, scale-out computing, complex web-based applications and virtualization defy the old ways. Splunk breaks through the silos, indexing data from every component. Search, alert and report on all your IT data from every application, server and device — all in one place. Finding and fixing problems, following the trail of an attacker or tracing transactions is a whole lot faster and really easy.
Scales to 100% of your IT data.
A typical data center can generate more than a terabyte of IT data a day including logs, configurations, traps and alerts, messages, scripts and code and performance data. Traditional IT tools leave you unable to perform comprehensive incident response, threat analysis or compliance audits. Splunk manages and gives you instant access to 100% of your IT data for faster problem resolution, threat response and insight into user and system activities. You don’t need special agents, adapters or parsers for specific data formats and you get the correlation you need without writing lots of elaborate rules.
Keeps up with change.
With constantly changing dependencies and thousands of continually evolving IT components, static assumptions about your environment are way too brittle. It’s too easy for a new dependency to be missed and for a critical piece of data to fall through the cracks. Splunk schema-less design and continuous indexing keeps up with change so you don’t have to. It continuously indexes all your IT data by time so you can see change in action. And it dynamically interprets the data when you perform a search, eliminating the need to keep up with ever changing data formats.
Uncontrolled access? Not with Splunk.
Splunk was designed for serious security. Keep your valuable IT data protected with secure data handling, granular access controls, auditability, assurance of data integrity and integration with existing authentication systems. Finally you can control access to all your IT data and eliminate the need for system administrators, security and compliance people to touch production systems.
Plays nice with others.
You’ve made a significant investment in other IT management tools. Splunk integrates with your existing enterprise management, security and compliance tools right out of the box. The Splunk toolbar makes it simple to launch searches from any web-based application and Splunk alerts can be sent to any of your existing consoles. Index the data already collected by your existing management tools to extend the life of your investments.
Fast implementation and ROI.
How much time have you spent implementing IT solutions only to find out they don’t do what you need? You never get time to install all the different adapters or generate all the complex rules, and once you build a schema to integrate the data sources it becomes stale the moment your environment changes. Splunk was designed by people who hate to waste time as much as you do. Download Splunk and you’ll be up and running in no time. Those guys in management will love how fast you’re solving big problems.
Do more with less.
Have days when you just can’t keep up? With Splunk, you and your team can do a lot more, in less time, with fewer resources. Everyone adds their own knowledge and results to your IT data as they search. No more need to have 20 people in a room or on a conference call. Find problems faster, investigate security incidents before attackers cover their tracks and generate those compliance reports in no time.
