Hunk to Be Available at an Hourly Rate through Amazon; Splunk to Release Hunk 6.2
Hunk®: Splunk® Analytics for Hadoop and NoSQL Data Stores is a full-featured, integrated analytics platform built so everyone in an organization can interactively explore, analyze and visualize big data, regardless of where the data is stored. By integrating Hunk with Amazon EMR, AWS customers can automatically provision Hunk software at an hourly rate or can choose to bring their existing Hunk licenses to the Amazon EMR platform. The addition of hourly pricing makes it even easier to get started in minutes with Hunk’s exploratory analytics and data visualization capabilities against data stored in Amazon EMR. Hunk 6.2 will be generally available on AWS and as software on Tuesday, October 28.
“By giving people the chance to spin up instant analytics the moment they put data in Hadoop, Splunk on AWS will drastically decrease time to value for organizations,” said Guido Schroeder, senior vice president of products, Splunk. “Until Hunk, big data analytics initiatives could take months and often required specialized data scientists. Now, security analysts can obtain more comprehensive protection against modern threats, risk management professionals can analyze raw big data without sampling, and product managers can understand granular data to plan new products. All of this is possible in a single, integrated platform that you can set up and use within minutes.” |
