Splunk Doubles License Capacity for Entry-Level Customers

Splunk Inc., provider of software platform for real-time operational intelligence, is doubling license capacity at entry levels for Splunk Enterprise.

Doubling capacity enables Splunk customers to take more advantage of the hidden value in their machine data. They can more easily address their security, IT operations and application management use cases and correlate additional disparate data sources. Customers can now leverage the power of Splunk Enterprise more broadly across their organizations and drive further adoption of Splunk as their platform for machine data.

“From the start, we have believed in offering a free download so anyone can explore and analyze machine data at no cost. Now, we are doubling capacity for entry level customers, to further increase their ability to adopt Splunk software, explore new use cases and realize rapid ROI,” said Godfrey Sullivan, chairman and CEO, Splunk. “By enabling Splunk customers to analyze more data, we are further delivering on our mission to make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone.”

The increased capacity applies to all new licenses up to 20GB of daily indexing capacity. Splunk Enterprise U.S. licensing now starts at $4,500 for a 1GB/day perpetual license and $1,800 for a 1GB/day annual term license. The company is also offering recent customers of Splunk Enterprise who purchased licenses up to 20GB/day a special limited-time promotion to capitalize on the new license capacity levels.

Customers can deploy Splunk Enterprise on-premises, in private or public clouds and in virtualized environments. A free version is available as a download for anyone indexing up to 500MB/day and also as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) through the AWS Marketplace, where organizations can use Splunk software without the hassle of building and maintaining a physical infrastructure.

Splunk does not charge for data sources, data types, number of users, number of searches or alerts, or total data stored – instead maintaining the simple, straightforward pricing based on daily indexing volume that fosters adoption across organizations. Pricing varies by region.
