Making Machine-generated Big Data Accessible, Usable and Valuable to Everyone

Machine Data is one of the Fastest Growing, Most Pervasive Segments of Big Data. Machine data results from every website click, device-to-device communication and social media interaction. It is generated by all the applications, servers and network devices running your business - physical, virtual and cloud. Machine data contains critical information on user behavior, cyber-security risks, service levels, fraudulent activity and customer experience. It's the fastest growing, most pervasive area of "big data". We think it's also the most valuable.

Over 3,300 customers in 75+ countries use Splunk to harness the power of their machine data for application management, IT operations, cyber security, compliance, web intelligence and business analytics.
