SAN FRANCISCO - October 29, 2013 - Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK), provider of the leading software platform for real-time operational intelligence, today announced the next evolution of big data analytics with the general availability of Hunk™: Splunk Analytics for Hadoop. Hunk is a full-featured, integrated analytics platform for Hadoop that enables everyone in an organization to interactively explore, analyze and visualize historical data in Hadoop. Hunk is built on patent-pending virtual index technology that delivers powerful, self-serve analytics without the need for specialized programming skill sets, fixed schemas or costly integrations. Hunk also provides a rich developer environment, including an integrated web framework and software development kits (SDKs) for the world's most popular development languages. Download Hunk today for a free 60-day trial with no caps on data size or number of Hadoop nodes.
"Hunk is transforming the way organizations analyze their data in Hadoop by replacing drawn out development cycles with software that enables customers to deploy and deliver insights in hours instead of weeks or months," said Sanjay Mehta, vice president of product marketing, Splunk. "Hadoop is an increasingly important technology and many organizations are storing vast amounts of data in Hadoop. However, this often creates a problem because the data sets become too big to move and more traditional approaches to analytics of raw data in Hadoop require brittle, fixed schemas. These are key reasons our customers consistently tell us about the cost, time and sheer difficulty of getting analytics out of their Hadoop clusters. With Hunk, we applied everything Splunk has learned from ten years of experience with more than 6,000 customers to this unique challenge."
"Splunk was early in understanding the importance of machine-generated data, and in building an analytic stack focused on it, with strengths in quasi-real-time interfaces and in schema-on-need handling of time series data," said Curt Monash, president of Monash Research and editor of DBMS 2. "Now Splunk's analytic tools are also available for machine-generated data stored in Hadoop. Splunk has further strengthened its schema-on-need story by adding its new higher-performance data store."

"Hunk lets us quickly and easily visualize data in our Hadoop clusters," said Hideaki Sakaue, executive officer, Hitachi Solutions. "Hunk removes the need for specialized skill sets and lengthy development cycles so organizations can focus on innovation. We look forward to delivering this value to our customers."
"Hunk enables our enterprise customers to achieve their big data goals," said Kou Miyake, President and CEO, NTT DATA INTELLILINK Corp. "Hunk accelerates insights from Hadoop with a much faster time-to-value than open source alternatives. Hunk also enables enterprise developers to build big data applications because of the rich developer environment and tooling."
"Hunk gives business analytics teams using Hadoop in their stack an enormous opportunity to improve overall efficiency for everyone - the analysts can more quickly explore data and create visualizations, the operations teams can better monitor data security and developers can better ensure data quality," said Marcus Buda, senior data architect, Otto Group. "If you are working in an agile collaborative way, there are tremendous synergies in monitoring your data processing pipelines for Hadoop and at the same time using your knowledge about that data to develop business analytics dashboards with Hunk. The combination of Splunk software with the processing power of MapReduce and Hadoop generates a transparent and sustainable competitive advantage for your company within minutes."
