Splunk/Socialize at Hadoop Summit

Editor's Notes

• #4: Splunk                 $186 million        Turns machine data into valuable insightsSplunk now has more than 600 employees worldwide, with headquarters in San Francisco and 14 offices around the world.Since first shipping its software in 2006, Splunk now has over 4,400 customers in 80+ countries. These organizations are using Splunk software to improve service levels, reduce operations costs, mitigate security risks, enable compliance, enhance DevOps collaboration and create new product and service offerings. Please always refer to latest company data found here: http://www.splunk.com/company.
• #17: Talk specifically about how Splunk supports:Volume – scalable real-time architecture.Velocity – horizontal scalability.Variety – universal forwarding and indexing for highly diverse data from thousands of heterogeneous sources.Variability –late-binding schema for maximum search time analysis.
• #19: When we look more closely at the data we see that it contains critical information – customer id, order id, time waiting on hold, twitter id … what was tweeted. What’s important is first of all the ability to actually see across all these disparate data sources, but then to correlate related events across disparate sources, to deliver If you can correlate and visualize related events across these disparate sources, you can build a picture of activity, behavior and experience. And what if you can do all of this in real-time? You can respond more quickly to events that matter.  You can extrapolate this example to a wide range of use cases – security and fraud, transaction monitoring and analysis, web analytics, IT operations and so on.
• #20: Splunk turns raw machine data to new visibility, insights and analytics for IT and business professionals. Intelligence from operational data can help organizations meaningfully improve performance in a wide range of areas e.g. meet service levels, reduce costs, mitigate security risks, maintain compliance and gain insights. As well as providing analysis of real-time activity and behavior of products, users, services, servers.Example users of Splunk today include:Customer supportOperations teamsSysadminsApp developersSecurity analystsAuditorsIT execsWeb/biz analystsLOB owners / execs
• #28: API -> Notification Server -> Either Apple or Google -> At some time later, they will respond back with whether there were any real problems. With Splunk I can look at each individual piece as a whole and look at how the message traversed through the system.Without Splunk – would not know how to do it.
• #30: This is why we are announcing a new product from Splunk. It’s in Beta, it’s called “Hunk” and it’s SPLUNK ANALYTICS FOR HADOOP.This is a NEW PRODUCT from Splunk that delivers INTERACTIVE DATA EXPLORATION, ANALYSIS and VISUALIZATIONS FOR HADOOP.
• #31: Because it’s based on proven Splunk technology – deployed at thousands of organizations, we’ve naturally made it easy to deploy.Simply point it at your Hadoop cluster and start interacting with and analyzing data immediately.
