This week we’re at FOSE 2008 demonstrating how we’re collaborating with US Federal Agencies. A number of agencies have already joined the Splunk community including:

Many of these customers are applying Splunk to extreme applications with large data volumes from many different disparate sources. As you can imagine the complexity of security and compliance concerns, agency interactions and a sophisticated web of outsourcing to federal system integrators provides fertile ground for IT Search as a new way of solving all kinds of problems.

Typically our collaboration involves operations, security and compliance people from both the agency and system integrator sides. Agencies continue with their pursuit to cut costs and outsource while being driven with a host of new projects every year. And system integrators continue to search for new ways to bid more competitively by demonstrating new ways to more efficiently develop, deploy and manage technology. This means the business of managing our nations IT infrastructure is significantly more complex and dynamic than ever.
