LogMatters - September 2010
Dear Kimberley,
September has been a great month for LogLogic. We're bathed in the afterglow of a successful LogLogic 5 launch, and as a result, we spent a lot of time traveling around the globe in order to get the word out. To give you an idea of what the new software looks like, we've launched new online demos which will give you a quick overview of the changes. We've also been paying attention to HP's purchase of ArcSight. Acquisitions are difficult things, and we wish them the best. This acquisition sets us up as the leading independent SIEM player - a role we gladly welcome. Check out more comments about this on our blog. We bid September adieu, and welcome "ROctober." That's right, ROCK-tober. We've got a bunch of tradeshows to present at, and lots of exciting news coming so stay tuned. Until next month, Bill Roth CMO, LogLogic. |

The sincerest form of flattery.
Last week as everyone knows, HP purchased ArcSight for a boat load of cash. While some of the smaller vendors may have panicked, we viewed this as a good thing. Our Chief Logger (Guy Churchward), did a round of interviews saying that the acquisition validated our belief in IT data management as a tool for compliance, security and IT operations. Read more.
LogLogic’s Universal Collection Framework
By Christophe Briguet
There’s been some back and forth on the interwebs about why we’re introducing the Universal Collection Framework, and why we intend to essentially give the underlying magic (the ULDP protocol) away to the competition. Most of the negative feedback (exclusively from the competition) has been misinformed. I’m not throwing stones here, we simply haven’t told them (or you) what UCF is, why we invented it, and why the industry needs it. Those we have told (analysts, press, etc) all seem to think we’re doing a good thing. So let’s lift the covers and look at UCF in a little detail. Read more.

The LogLogic Story – Chapter 6
We don’t care where your data is, or what format it’s in; we can get it and give you 360 degrees of sight into all your IT data. We don’t care why you’re capturing all that data. Whether it’s compliance, security, or IT-ops, we give you 360 degrees of sight into all your business drivers. We don’t care who you are. Whether you’re looking for insight because you’re HR, an auditor/assessor, a partner, or that guy in IT - we give you insight. ‘We don’t care’ is harsh. ‘We’re neutral’ lacks the passion behind our focus. What I’m trying to say is that we’re doing all the hard work to understand all of your data, for whatever driver motivates you, while respecting your role within your organization. Read more.
The LogLogic Story – Chapter 7
Universal Collection Framework provides universal IT data collection capable of collecting, without agents, from just about anywhere. Where we do need agents for those hard to reach places, like HP Integrity NonStop (tandem) machines, or exotic devices, we have them. We also provide specialized technology for capturing database activity without the need for you to turn on costly auditing. All of this technology is vertically scalable to suit data centers of any size. It is also the world’s only WAN-aware store-and-forward technology capable of adapting to time-zones, being scheduled, compensating for unstable pipes, and protecting your data from unauthorized viewers. Read more.
The LogLogic Story – Chapter 8
LogLogic provides the biggest, fastest, most scalable and complete IT data warehouse available today. We have one customer that currently gives us 53 BILLION logs per day. Our biggest box peaks at 250,000 log messages per second. This level of scalability means that if you’re considering building a large datacenter, we’re the only people you should talk to. But we’re more than just scalable. Our warehouse specializes in structuring unstructured data. We take the data from our Universal Collection Framework and automatically identify it – no more tedious manual configuration the way you do with other vendors. We then feed that IT data into our taxonomy where we add the insight. Read more.
The LogLogic Story – Chapter 9
The ‘use’ section of our technology is actually lots of products that all feed off the central warehouse. We have a S.E.M. solution that we refer to as a SOC-in-a-box, which is probably the most accurate correlation engine available. We have compliance technology that takes your assets and people and matches them against directives, and then enforces your processes. We have a forensic workflow solution that is indisputably the most efficient in the business. We have a special data-aware console called Database Security Manager that gives you SOC-type security over your databases. And of course, everything we do is extensible with open APIs. Read more.
The LogLogic Story – Chapter 10
Regardless of whether you want to deploy appliances, software or virtualized machines, regardless of whether you’re building a datacenter, using a satellite WAN to connect branch offices, or using the cloud to sell or consume IT data, we have a solution for you. The unique scalability and flexibility of our technology means we dominate in the datacenter. Our ULDP technology means we’re the only vendor that guarantees connectivity on the WAN for distributed deployments. You sprinkle those two things with a little virtualization and you have a more than capable cloud offering. And we partner with people like Savvis and Verizon to offer such facilities as a utility model. Read more.
The LogLogic Story – Chapter 11
LogLogic provides 360 degrees of insight by centralizing and structuring IT data – enabling customers like you to operate a secure, efficient IT infrastructure within a compliance or best-practice framework with enhanced visibility and control. We know how your systems are configured, how they react under load, and how they are being used by your staff. In short we understand who did what, when and how your systems responded.
