I’m pleased to share that yesterday Splunk was named Cisco Global ISV Partner of the Year at Cisco’s annual Global Partner Summit in San Diego. Awarded to exemplary partners, the Cisco Partner Summit Global awards are designed to recognize best-in-class business practices and serve as a model to the industry. Areas of consideration include innovative practices, architecture-led approach successes, strategic business outcome-focused programs, seizing new opportunities and sales approaches.
It is a tremendous honor to have earned Cisco’s global recognition of the value Splunk’s market-leading Operational Intelligence platform brings to Cisco customers and the Cisco partner ecosystem.
Splunk pioneers innovative, disruptive solutions that make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone. We have aligned closely with Cisco to help organizations gain insights leveraging the vast amounts of data generated by Cisco’s industry-leading security, networking, data center, wireless, and collaboration portfolios and correlating this information with machine data across their infrastructure. We’ve also optimized Splunk software deployments on Cisco UCS systems to take advantage of the exceptional performance, scalability, and TCO advantages that UCS delivers.
We are extremely proud of the partnership that Splunk and Cisco have built and even more excited for the thousands of joint customers around the world who are successfully minimizing operational and security risks, driving informed decisions across the organization, and ultimately transforming their businesses.
