Eats All Your IT Data
Unlike other system management, SIEM and log management products that require you to spend days or weeks developing or configuring specific parsers and custom connectors, Splunk connects to any data source. No need to be dependent on a vendor to produce a specific connector for you if it's not available. Splunk continually indexes all your IT data in real time – logs, configuration data, change events, the output of diagnostic commands, data from APIs and message queues, even logs from custom applications. The IT data that is critical for troubleshooting, security incident investigations, compliance reporting and other valuable tasks is now right at your finger tips. If a machine can generate it, Splunk can index, search, alert and report on it.

Keeps Up With Dynamic Environments
The only constant in today's dynamic, virtualized datacenters is change. Traditional IT management and security technologies assume you know about all possible failures and risks up front and that your data formats won't change, but this just doesn't work anymore. Splunk continually indexes all your IT data in real time and doesn't rely on brittle schemas that limit your flexibility and break when the data formats change. Any interpretation you need to do on the data, such as extracting a common field or tagging a subset of hosts, can be easily done on-the-fly as you search. That's why one of the top things you hear from Splunk users everywhere is that it's incredibly flexible.

For All Types of Users
Splunk makes it easy to build custom dashboards and reports to make sense of the huge volumes of data at your disposal. Combine pre-defined searches, charts, alerts and reports into a powerful dashboard, or create mashups with other web-based applications, such as Tivoli, SAP, Oracle, security consoles and more. Splunk arms network engineers, system administrators, security and compliance analysts, developers, support/service desk staff and even business users with an up-to-the-moment understanding of what’s happening in the IT infrastructure.

Meets Strategic Needs Across IT
Splunk invented a new approach to managing IT data and unlocking its enormous value. Using Splunk as the engine to search and analyze IT data is changing the way users do their jobs and elevating the role of IT in their organizations. Users experience significantly higher productivity and businesses experience more uptime, less revenue disruption and happier customers. Many customers start using Splunk to solve a specific problem area, quickly make their initial use case an internal success, then deploy Splunk to other critical areas of IT, such as Application Management, Security & Compliance, Infrastructure & Operations Management and to gain new business intelligence.

Scales from Laptop to Datacenter
You have to do more with less and you and you need to do it faster. Splunk lets you search billions of events in seconds on a single commodity server. Its parallel architecture means search and indexing performance scales linearly across CPU cores and commodity servers. Splunk uses its own highly efficient datastore and is not restricted by the throughput constraints or rigid schema of a traditional database, making it the fastest, most flexible way to search, alert and report on your IT data.
