Splunk for Managing Microsoft Solutions

Today's Windows® IT infrastructures are more complex than ever. Virtualization and cloud computing add to this complexity, especially when there are outages or performance issues. IT operations management teams and administrators waste valuable time using multiple tools trying to track down the data they need to ensure high performance and availability.

Splunk Enterprise provides a better approach. It collects and indexes all the data generated by your Windows environments and other Microsoft® technologies in one place in real time. Splunk software turns your silos of data into actionable information and immediate operational insights.
