Splunk’s Steve Sommer: ‘Bringing back the sexiness into service monitoring’ | #splunkconf
by Teryn O'Brien | Sep 22, 2015
Splunk’s .conf2015 kicked off today at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Steve Sommer, SVP and CMO, of Splunk, Inc., sat down with John Furrier and George Gilbert, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, to talk about Splunk’s growth and innovation.
Machine learning
“There’s a lot of hype, a lot of focus, on machine learning right now, as well as it should be,” said Sommer. “The capabilities and potential is really immense.”
Splunk is looking at generic machine learning technology — like algorithms — and also in the security space. Splunk has made an acquisitions of several companies in these focuses recently. Its goal is to use machine learning and apply it to particular customer needs. In fact, Splunk already has 700 apps that help solve customer problems.
Finding new customers
Splunk announced this morning that it now has 10,000 customers. “But there’s probably a million more out there,” said Sommer. Splunk is committed to innovating and making more and more products, and the company values its position as a diverse company with a broad portfolio of products.
“We joke at Splunk that all these areas are really strategic, really critical — so we focus on everything,” said Sommer. One example of innovation is its new IT Service Intelligence. “It’s bringing back the sexiness into service monitoring,” said Sommer.
Partner ecosystem
Customers are facing a lot of challenges nowadays, and Splunk’s job is to make it as easy as possible. “We’ve always been an extremely-partner friendly company,” said Sommer. “It’s a win-win. When others can integrate with Splunk, it makes the life of our joint customers that much better.”
