Collect and Manage an Avalanche of Event Logs 

Compliance, security and IT operations teams increasingly recognize the value and insight that enterprise log data delivers. The ability to effectively and efficiently analyze log data can help organizations contain the rising cost of regulatory compliance audits; enhance their security posture; and gain direct visibility into network, system and application health and availability.
 
Long term data retention requirements imposed by regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, PCI, FISMA, HIPAA and GLBA necessitate a cost effective means to collect and store audit-quality log data. Given the wide variety of log formats and ever-growing volume of logs generated, enterprises need a robust log management infrastructure that can support rapid collection of large log volumes across all locations. Moreover, information has to be easily accessible through an intuitive interface that provides logical navigation across terabytes of log data.
