Addition of Premier Reseller Broadens Reach in Japan; IT Search to Drive Compliance, Manage Data Center Complexity and Security
SAN FRANCISCO —February 17, 2009 — Splunk, the IT Search company, and Macnica Networks Corp., one of the leading distributors in Japan of network appliances, software, telecom and storage solutions with more than 20 years of experience in selling and localizing software for the Japanese market, announced today that the two companies have signed an agreement to distribute and support Splunk in the Japanese market. The partnership enables Splunk to increase its presence in the region, while Macnica Networks now has the expanded portfolio to continue to deliver leading-edge solutions to its customer base.
"Macnica Networks consistently identifies innovative new products that provide proven and powerful networking solutions for our partners and customers," said Masahiro Miyabukuro, President, Macnica Networks. "Splunk IT Search delivers a unique technology that will improve compliance coverage, reduce operational costs and increase network availability across our customers’ data centers. Local support is very important to Japanese customers and we are committed to providing the best services and support in partnership with Splunk."
Splunk IT Search bridges the gap created by silos of IT infrastructure data in enterprise and service provider environments. Splunk makes it possible to search and analyze data from any application, server or network device from a single location in real time. Splunk improves IT economics by reducing the time to troubleshoot problems and cutting operating costs in areas such as application management, security operations, and regulatory compliance. Traditional approaches to managing, securing, and auditing IT operations are typically complex, expensive, time-consuming to deploy, and limited to a small set of IT data sources. With Splunk IT Search, companies can now quickly and easily view and analyze all the data from every component of their IT infrastructure.
"This partnership and integration will enable companies to make their IT operations more efficient, a necessity in today’s economic climate," said Splunk President & CEO Godfrey R. Sullivan. "Macnica Networks is a recognized technology leader with an excellent distribution network in Japan. Their expertise in delivering innovative technologies and service support to data centers and networks is an ideal match for our pioneering IT Search technology. "
