Forward-Looking Statements
Eight Years of
Integration and
Innovation
A brief history of Cisco and Splunk together
With Robert Novak
▶ Splunk will run on almost anything (even my laptop)
▶ Standalone servers have lower admin overhead
▶ Build up your clusters and you have to keep them consistent
▶ Grow your data sources (and uses) and you have to add servers
▶ Cluster constipation is bad, mmmkay?
Why Does Hardware Still Matter?
4
▶ Cisco customer big data pools tend to grow 2-3x/year
▶ Cisco customer IT staff doesn’t grow as fast
▶ The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) provides scalable, repeatable, predictable,
and manageable deployments across dozens to thousands of servers for any application
deployment
▶ Pallet to production in hours, not days or weeks
▶ Deep engineering integration between Cisco and Splunk with tested and proven
configurations
More on this later…
Why Does Hardware Still Matter?
5
▶ 10s of thousands of employees, contractors, devices
▶ 100s of offices, business apps, audiences
▶ Lots of data in lots of places
▶ No one tool (not even Splunk) can do everything for everyone all the time
▶ High volume, low value, low shelf life
• Stealthwatch (formerly Lancope), Hadoop feed into Splunk
▶ Low to moderate volume, high value, (any) shelf life
• Splunk on its own, sometimes with fronting dashboards
▶ Additional visualizations with Platfora, Tableau, etc
Big Data at a Big Customer: Cisco
6
▶ Customer for 8+ years, strategic
partner for 4+ years
▶ Geographically disparate data
collection and analysis
▶ Over 70 business
applications/use cases across
the company
• Around 20 teams using Splunk
including Cisco IT and CSIRT
▶ Nearly 10x growth in search
volume from 2014-2016

Making sense of a broad security platform
using Cisco and Splunk technologies
With Douglas Hurd
Splunk & Cisco Security – “Better Together”
• Largest security footprint in the industry
• Produces broad range of security telemetry
across most security technologies
• Ubiquitous network footprint enables bi-
directional integration for executing security
automation
• High investment in Splunk apps for serving
joint customers
• Voluminous, context-rich Cisco data sources
drive license volumes while enabling improved
security & compliance, more effective SIEM
use cases and new use cases beyond security
• Automated actions in Cisco network environs
• Proven, supported integrations accelerate time
to value
