SPLUNK SERVICES & MAINTENANCE

The transformation of data generated in your enterprise into valuable information to help value-add to productivity, accountability , profitable returns and security across all platforms makes up the core of our solution areas. Enterprises gain superior levels of intelligence and visibility from data at scale. Our services around Splunk Enterprise products, Data management & Security Analysis, our team can help your enterprise unleash the power of transformed data from raw information through Splunk into operational intelligence which is the future of log management.

Custom Development

We are able to develop custom applications in Splunk and ELK that facilitate easy intelligence reporting and analytics on your data sets. For example, you may wish to develop a solution that allows for intelligence and analytics reporting from one place, aggregating data from several applications into one. Additionally, we are able to customise Splunkbase Splunk applications to your specific environment and have them deliver value to your organisation.

Implementations

Data Analytics and big data technologies typically require significant investment in infrastructure and the complexity of implementing them can be exigent. There are a lot of moving parts and components have to be configured such that they work together and infrastructure could be on-premise, in the cloud, or both. Our practical implementation experience and knowledge of best practices around these integrations will help to ensure an effortless and successful implementation.

Education & Training

The technologies we implement are, for the most part, relatively new and often require a different way of thinking to traditional approaches. Ensuring your key personnel are adequately trained will complement your solution investment and really is critical to your success. We offer both certified and custom training courses in both Splunk and Hadoop. Courses are specifically designed around the personnel you wish to train, such as administrators, developers, analysts etc. These courses can be delivered in-person or virtually.

Upgrades & Migrations

As with any technology, upgrades are typically required from time to time – often annually. However, the effort to upgrade can be significant, especially if your data ingestion rate is high and you are dealing with huge data sets, not everyone has the expertise or the system is relied upon by many individuals. Additionally, migrations from one technology to another (e.g. hardware upgrades/changes) can also present more challenges. Our experienced personnel can help alleviate these challenges and ensure upgrades and/or migrations are well planned and executed without issue.
