About Us

Every Company is a Data Company

Splunk was founded to pursue a disruptive new vision: make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. Machine data is one of the fastest growing and most pervasive segments of "big data"--generated by websites, applications, servers, networks, mobile devices and the like that organizations rely on every day. By monitoring and analyzing everything from customer clickstreams and transactions to network activity and call records--and more, Splunk turns machine data into valuable insights no matter what business you're in. It's what we call operational intelligence.

A New Approach

According to IDC, unstructured data, much of it generated by machines, accounts for more than 90% of the data in today's organizations. Traditional technologies, built on relational or multi-dimensional databases, cannot handle the complexity or scale of today's massive volumes of machine data. Nor do they allow the flexibility to ask any question or get questions answered in real time--which now is an expectation of users.

Splunk focuses specifically on the challenges and opportunities of effectively managing this type of data. That's why many organizations now consider Splunk their platform for machine data. Splunk® Enterprise™ collects, monitors, indexes and analyzes the machine data generated by IT applications and infrastructure--physical, virtual and in the cloud. This machine data is massive in scale and contains a definitive record of all transactions, systems, applications, user activities, security threats and fraudulent activity. This data is largely untapped; Splunk helps organizations unlock its value.
