There is no slowdown in sight with regard to the enterprise consumption of the cloud, according to Joseph Noga, VP of technology for Komodo Cloud, LLC, a leader in IT transition and transformation services for enterprises, system integrators and independent software vendors.

Noga joined John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Splunk .conf 2015 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to discuss some interesting use cases for Splunk products.

Higher standards

That the team at Komodo Cloud has moved multiple company workloads to the cloud, and Noga indicated that he has not seen any major security breaches or performance issues. According to Noga, “When it comes to the cloud, SLAs that are required by the data center providers and the certifications held either meet or exceed most of the standards that you’ll find in an on premise infrastructure.”

Use case studies

The VP of technology is a reseller and services provider of Splunk products and engineer certified as well. His customers are using Splunk for various options besides security and risk management, and he explained how two clients are thinking outside the box to improve their businesses.

One of Noga’s clients is a financial institution who is using Splunk for its business analytic initiatives to monitoring and tracking financial transactions. “Initially, the institution was using Splunk specifically for log aggregation and typical security and the client needed to the money movement through the bank,” said Noga, who recommended changing some applications and tapping into the data managed by Splunk for tracking.

Before the change to the system, a customer had to wait up to 20 minutes to find out the status of a transaction. After the implementation of Splunk, the process now takes 30 seconds improving performance and customer satisfaction.

Another Kimono Cloud client in the legal industry is using it for more than enterprise security and risk management and moving toward validation of attorney billing hours. “Using phone numbers that correlate with case numbers, our client will be able to use this data for billing and audit,” said Noga.

Noga indicated one issue he is having is finding people to work with the sophisticated systems. He said, “A person had to wear many hats, know how to employ differ technology and derive specific answers.”
