Within this agreement, Microsoft will collaborate with Splunk to develop a differentiated product offering by leveraging Microsoft Azure for Splunk’s cloud products. This approach will enable joint customers to innovate with confidence and migrate, modernize and grow environments with end-to-end cloud and hybrid visibility at scale. Splunk empowers organizations with visibility into all digital systems, surfaces key risks and detects potential issues to enable teams or automation to respond before they become significant incidents.
“Embracing digital technologies is critical to creating resilient and secure businesses,” said Judson Althoff, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, Microsoft. “With Splunk’s differentiated offering built on Azure and Azure AI, we can continue to empower our mutual customers’ transformation journeys while helping them build a foundation for future innovation and growth.”
Splunk customers that are leveraging Microsoft Azure as a cloud platform of choice can now deploy Splunk as part of their cloud strategy. Thousands of joint global customers will be able to purchase Splunk Enterprise, Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. These solutions are available in the United States immediately and are expected to be available globally next month.
