A Different Kind of Software Company

Splunk was born from our founders’ frustration in running some of the worlds largest IT infrastructures. Armed with state-of-the-art IT management tools, they found it nearly impossible to locate the root cause of problems, investigate security attacks and assemble all the data required for compliance audits. Their conclusion was that the silo approach to managing IT with separate tools for every technology and IT function was cumbersome, costly and didn't scale.

So, they founded Splunk to develop a new approach. The concept is simple. If Google can index and let users instantly search billions of pages of Web content, why can't we do the same for billions of pieces of data from an IT environment? The result of thinking differently, Splunk indexes the data from any application, server or network device and lets you instantly search, alert and report across technical, functional and geographic IT silos.

Splunk Is IT Search

Splunk indexes and lets you search, alert and report on all your IT infrastructure data from a single location in real time. Logs, configurations, messages, traps and alerts, scripts and metrics; if a machine can generate it, Splunk can index it. With Splunk you can troubleshoot application outages, investigate security incidents, and demonstrate compliance in minutes, not hours or days.

Splunk takes advantage of the time series nature and highly unstructured form of IT data. By making it possible for humans to interact with terabytes of IT data, Splunk is fundamentally changing how organizations manage, secure and audit increasingly complex computing environments.

Splunk arms network engineers, system administrators, security and compliance analysts, developers, customer support and help desk staff alike with an up-to-the-moment understanding of what’s happening in their IT infrastructures. And Splunk is easy to download, install and use - and it's very powerful.
