  • The cloud division of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) called Google Cloud and Splunk Inc (NASDAQ: SPLK) announced a new strategic partnership

The cloud division of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) called Google Cloud and Splunk Inc (NASDAQ: SPLK) — which is the provider of the “Data-to-Everything” platform — announced a new strategic partnership to help organizations drive actionable insights from their data and enable better and faster decisions with real-time visibility across the enterprise.

Splunk Cloud will soon be available on Google Cloud to help users unlock the value of their data and offer increased flexibility for harnessing the power of the Splunk Data-to-Everything Platform. Plus the two companies plan to tightly integrate Splunk Cloud across Google Cloud, including plans to roll out new native integrations with Anthos, Google Cloud Security Command Center, and Google Cloud’s operations suite.

This will enable new and existing customers to share critical data between applications and offer insights from holistic sets of data extracted from their hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Splunk Cloud delivers the capabilities of the Splunk Data-to-Everything Platform as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) thus enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions and take action on insights from their data without the need to purchase, manage, or deploy additional infrastructure.

Splunk Cloud on Google Cloud brings customers a single-pane view for investigating, monitoring, analyzing, and acting on their data with the confidence that it is secured within their trusted Google Cloud infrastructure. And Splunk Cloud customers will further benefit from Google Cloud’s technology capabilities, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, security, networking, and data analytics.

Splunk Cloud on Google Cloud is currently in beta for early access customers with general availability coming soon. And customers interested in learning more about Splunk Cloud and Google Cloud’s joint-solutions can visit cloud.google.com/splunk and splunk.com/googlecloud.
