SAN FRANCISCO —February 2, 2009 — Splunk, the IT Search company, today announced that Splunk has been named 'The 2008 Product of the Year' in the category of Systems Management by SearchDataCenter.com. The SearchDataCenter.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts, and consultants selected Splunk 3.3 based on innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality, and value.
Splunk provides a unique approach to indexing and searching IT infrastructures, making it possible to search and navigate data from any application, server or network device in real time. As described by one SearchDataCenter.com judge, "Splunk has managed to establish itself as a solid new entrant into IT management. They found a hole in the tool-chain of operations people -- search -- and have worked diligently on filling that hole. On the business side, they've managed to partner with other players, large and small, and have been doing good work to become a mature company."
Splunk IT Search is the industry’s first integrated approach to keeping the IT infrastructure available, secure and compliant. Splunk lets organizations index and search their logs, configurations, messages, traps, alerts, and statistics from any IT component from a single location in real time. Organizations use this data to troubleshoot outages, speed threat analysis and response, and drive compliance reporting in minutes versus hours or days. Splunk customers can create and distribute their own custom searches, in addition to downloading apps created by anyone in the Splunk ecosystem. Apps for Splunk 3.3 include: Splunk for Change Management, Splunk for Microsoft Windows, Splunk for VMware and Splunk for Network Security.
