The Avalanche of SPLUNK


Big news just erupted on April 4, 2013 that Data Analytics Software creator, Splunk Inc. is looking to increase their customer base by approximately 40% this year. That means that they are hoping to add at least 2,000 customers annually. For a start-up data analytics business, this is great news.

Splunk had about 5,200 customers and less than 800 employees at the beginning of the year in 2012. Since then, they have enjoyed an extremely high revenue growth rate.

The CEO of Splunk, Godfrey Sullivan said, “Our investors are encouraging us to continue to run at a breakeven pace so that we can capture fast moving market opportunities.” Previously, Sullivan was the head of the Data Analytics firm Hyperion Solutions, which was later bought out by Oracle Corp for $4.5 Billion in 2007.

Godfrey is planning to make Splunk just as successful as Hyperion and quoted, “[our clients] are pretty pleased. You see that reflected in the stock price.” In fact, shares of this small San Francisco-based company debuted at $17 on NASDAQ and have more than doubled since its IPO made a splash in April of 2012.

Splunk’s software indexes and manages machine data from computers, mobile devices, and servers. It also uses an interface similar to Google’s that makes it is easy to search and navigate through each company’s database.

These are some of the reasons why Splunk is avalanching towards success.  There are dedicated people running the company that care about the quality of their data analytics and log storage product and service. They realize the importance that data found from this software can bring to a company.  With the right data, a company can analyze ways to improve their business to be more successful by being more productive.

Splunk’s CEO Sullivan concluded his speech saying, “Now just like we make it easy for you to look at your server traffic, we can also show you your web traffic or mobile traffic and you can analyze that just as easily.”0020x`
