Last week SnapLogic sponsored partner event Splunk Worldwide Users' Conference in Las Vegas. The theme of the conference was "Your Data, No Limits." In keeping with this theme, SnapLogic helps Splunk customers access more comprehensive analytics by integrating as much data as possible from as many sources as possible, and by streamlining the business process of loading data in Splunk, detecting problems, and facilitating actions that result in a prompt resolution.

2. Agenda
• Introducing SnapLogic
The Hybrid Data World
SnapLogic – Solving the Log Data Mystery with Data Integration
Demonstration
Customer case study
Q&A

4. State of Integration Today | New Requirements
• Hybrid Reality
− Data/apps on-premise and in cloud
− Must connect and scale securely
• More Fragmentation
− 100s of apps & distributed endpoints
− Versioning headaches
• Varied Data Type
− Structured, Unstructured, Semi..
− Big Data, Social/mobile
6. SnapLogic Elastic Integration
Hybrid Architecture
• Execute integration pipelines
(workflows) in cloud, or on-
premise or both
Secure Operations
• Securely orchestrate business
processes that traverse cloud
& ground assets

7. The SnapLogic Value Proposition
Connect to anything to anything - anywhere: On-premise, cloud; batch
to low-latency
Extensible: Open SDK and REST API
Ease of deployment & management: 3X-5X faster than hand-coding
and legacy integration
Agile - Time to value: Enable “citizen developer”: 3X-6X less
development time
ROI: Subscription licensing, less time to value 2X-6X improvement ROI
8. Higher order benefits for Splunk customers
8
The value of individual items of data is limited, the value comes
when it can be related and intelligence derived
E.g. an intrusion detected on an IP address is inconvenient (but
interesting), the value of that is significantly higher if it can be
supplemented with user, device and location
11. Integrated Insights

Solving the Log Data Mystery
• Machine Data provides clues to
possible problems
• Hi-Level decisions need machine
data correlated with reference and
master data
• Today these sources live in cloud
and on-prem systems
• Insight and knowledge come as a
result of integration
13. Customer Case Study | Fortune 10 Company
IT Risk globally manages security information for assets (computers, mobile devices etc.)
Business Problems
• IT Risk manages 400,000 PC’s and 1,000’s of edge devices around the
globe
• Equipment status log files updated as often as every minute
• Risk management processes evolve rapidly
• Needed to rapidly integrate multiple data sources into a multi-process
risk assessment and management process
• Endpoints included
• Splunk for log file ingestion and alert creation
• ServiceNow for incident creation/management/CMDB
• Airwatch for mobile asset management
Alternative Approaches
• Custom coding by IT personnel
• Individual scripts/custom code from each vendor

15. Customer Case Study| Business Outcomes
Estimated SnapLogic at 4x more productive than custom coding
• SnapLogic used for near real-time batch and bi-directional updates
• Agile delivery to accelerate time-to-value
• Standardized architecture for master data connectivity
• Reduced operational maintenance and increased reliability and security through
central management of integrations
• Elastic scaling for future volume and velocity
Future:
• Customer is looking to extend integration processes into separate cloud and on-
prem for increased agility, manageability
• Target applications include Qualys, Veracode, Mozy, ScanSafe, Zscaler and SkyHigh
Different requirements today – new reality which cannot be solved with old technologies..Far more appsHybrid environmentStuff they bought in 90sDevt languages – pt to ptVersioning headachesLots more dataMore info, endpts, data
A new solution required for the new world whereData gravityElasticity, a key requirement
Connectivity to cloud should run in the cloudLike Vmware and Nicera – software defined networking…Separation btn data plane and control plane – way to run things in world todayPut data plane on premise – such as ERP systems (politically and functionally)Conversely – fewer people want to keep Siebel, etc and so just move that to cloudONLY SnapLogic can do both, elasticallyData shipping and function shippingShip the question to the data – 10 PB of dataPrice of gas over 4th of July – elasticity enables the data to move to the question!
