New Splunk and uptime software Partnership Delivers Super-charged IT Operations Management
A Complete, Proactive Management Solution for Monitoring and Troubleshooting the Entire Data Center
SAN FRANCISCO - Oct. 2, 2007 - Splunk, creators of the original IT Search engine, and uptime software, developers of 'up.time,' today announced a technology and licensing agreement that enables Splunk to be built into the up.time IT operations management solution. Under this agreement, Splunk will license its IT Search technology to uptime as a means to index, search and navigate the high volumes of events generated during any data center operations.
The integration of Splunk and up.time delivers unprecedented levels of IT performance and availability management that significantly improves the ability to identify and resolve complex data center problems. The result is better IT Operations through easy proactive monitoring, and extremely fast root-cause analysis.
"Splunk for up.time is an innovative approach to improving data center management and service availability," said Pervaiz Choudhry, director, business development at Splunk. "This integrated solution lets joint customers diagnose complex issues and determine the root cause of failures straight from the up.time console. This approach replaces primitive - and in most cases non-existing - tools for troubleshooting complex failures."
up.time monitors and reports on IT services, servers and applications across platforms to detect performance issues and outages. Splunk indexes and lets you search, navigate, alert and report on IT data from any application, server or network device. This partnership allows up.time users to tap into Splunk's search engine when outages occur, making it simple to track underlying errors in logs that couldn't otherwise be found. The result is deeper root-cause analysis, simple tracking and notification of security, performance and other audit-related events, and easier detection of elusive problems like J2EE performance degradation.
"This partnership truly super-charges application, database and server monitoring to performance levels not available with other IT Operations management solutions. The benefit is clear - system administrators and IT departments can solve complex outage issues faster than ever," explains Alex Bewley, vice president of R&D at uptime software. "up.time's integration with Splunk is making our customers very happy, and that makes us excited about this partnership."
The Splunk Powered Partner Program is designed to empower OEMs, ISVs and technology partners to offer IT Search across availability, security, compliance and business intelligence solutions. By embedding or bundling Splunk IT Search with their products and services, Splunk partners provide the ability to aggregate and mine IT data to troubleshoot, perform root-cause and forensic security analysis, and generate reports for compliance requirements. Splunk is proud to have up.time as a distinguished member of the program.
