History[editar]
Michael Baum, Rob Das and Erik Swan co-founded Splunk Inc in 2003.[6] Venture firms August Capital, Seven Rosen, Ignition Partners and JK&B Capital backed the company.
By 2007 Splunk had raised 40 million USD;[7] it became profitable in 2009.[8] In 2012 Splunk had its initial public offering, trading under NASDAQ symbol SPLK.[9]
In September 2013 the company acquired Bugsense, a mobile-device data-analytics company.[10] Bugsense provides "a mobile analytics platform used by developers to improve app performance and improve quality". It supplied a "software developer kit" to give developers access to data analytics from mobile devices that it managed from its scalable cloud platform.[11] The acquisition amount was undisclosed.
In July 2015 Splunk acquired Caspida, a cybersecurity startup, for $190 million.[12]
In October 2015 Splunk sealed a "cybersecurity alliance" with U.S. government security contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. to offer combined cyberthreat detection and intelligence-analysis technology.[13]
Products[editar]
Splunk's core offering, Splunk Enterprise, collects and analyzes high volumes of machine-generated data. It uses a standard API to connect directly to applications and devices.[14] It was developed in response to the demand for comprehensible and actionable data reporting for executives outside a company's IT department.[15][16]
In 2011, Splunk released Splunk Storm, a cloud-based version of the core Splunk product. Splunk Storm offered a turnkey, managed and hosted service for machine data.[17] In 2013, Splunk announced that Splunk Storm would become a completely free service and expanded its cloud offering with Splunk Cloud.[18] In 2015, Splunk shut down Splunk Storm.[19]
In 2013, Splunk announced a product called Hunk: Splunk Analytics for Hadoop, which supports accessing, searching, and reporting on external data sets located in Hadoop from a Splunk interface.[20]
In 2015, Splunk announced a Light version of the core Splunk product, aimed at smaller IT-environments and mid-sized enterprises.[21]
In 2016, Google announced its cloud platform will integrate with Splunk to expand in areas like IT ops, security and compliance.[22]
