We are excited to see Splunk’s global footprint increase as we launch more AWS regions around the world.”

“As organizations make a seminal shift to the cloud, we are pleased to extend Splunk Cloud internationally with AWS,” said Marc Olesen, senior vice president and general manager of cloud solutions, Splunk. “Organisations in countries around the world can now take advantage of centralised visibility across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments with all the benefits of software-as-a-service (SaaS).”

“Splunk Cloud gives us the analytics we require to support our new Security Operations Center (SOC),” said Ross McKerchar, cybersecurity manager, Sophos. “My team relies on Splunk for real-time reporting, alerting and investigative capabilities to complement Sophos technology and help us protect the business, so we need a reliable solution we can count on 24/7. Splunk Cloud delivered from within the EU provides us the industry leading platform for operational intelligence and security delivered as a high-performance, enterprise-ready cloud service.”

“Splunk Cloud is the backbone of our advanced marketing analytics solution, OptimaHub, and helps us to deliver insights like new product opportunities to the C-suite,” said Nick Russell, co-founder and managing director, Katana1. “We chose Splunk Cloud to take advantage of the ease of management and cost efficiencies a SaaS model offers. Splunk Cloud was easy to get up and running, and it delivers all the same features, benefits and insights of Splunk Enterprise as a reliable, high-performance cloud service.”

“Splunk Cloud is used across Polycom from IT to our services and business centers and delivers invaluable insights with a strong return on investment,” said Garrett Zorigian, director, services strategy and design, Polycom. “Splunk Cloud, being a cloud service run on AWS, saves us upfront resource costs by managing the associated IT infrastructure and also enables us to reallocate our resources more efficiently across the company. For instance, our internal Splunk team spends no time working on administrative IT duties. Instead, they focus solely on delivering analytics services that directly improve the customer experience and Polycom’s workforce communications and collaboration solutions.”
