So how might this work in a real world situation in a government agency?
A security administrator who needs real-time visibility across the whole enterprise and every device can use Splunk to immediately detect anomalies because the software collects data as it is being generated, according to Sanjay Mehta, Splunk’s vice president of product marketing.
Federal users are looking forward to capabilities that let them solve problems faster through the integration of Splunk and Hadoop, said Bill Cull vice president of Splunk’s public sector, noting that many of Splunk’s federal users are in the intelligence community.
Both Splunk Connect and Splunk App for HadoopOps are available for free to users of Splunk Enterprise via the company’s app store. Splunk runs on all major platforms including Linux, Unix and Microsoft, Mehta said. The software is built on a distributed architecture, which allows users to share workloads across machines via parallel processing. It runs in virtualized and cloud environments and can even manage multi-tenant cloud environments, Mehta said.
“Splunk has taken a methodological approach to defining its co-existence with Hadoop,” said Matt Aslett, research manager for data management and analytics with 451 Research. Splunk Hadoop Connect not only integrates with Hadoop but also interacts with it while Splunk App for HadoopOps monitors cluster resources beyond Hadoop itself. This offers users a single platform for managing and analyzing data in both environments, he said.
