Modern security and IT infrastructures are complicated. Efficiently managing these environments is hard. Gaining value from the massivevolumes of data generated by these infrastructures is even harder. That's why Cisco and Splunk have joined forces to deliver integrated solutions for IT Operations and Security Analytics that deliver end-to-end, real-time visibility across every infrastructure element.

In this digital world, data and analytics-driven insights provide customers with a strategic advantage. Union Hospital of Cecil County uses Splunk Enterprise on Cisco UCS to protect hospital systems from cyberattacks, and to keep patients' medical information private, and in compliance with federal requirements.

Integra uses Splunk on UCS to monitor, analyze and visualize data from nearly all critical IT systems with use cases ranging from application delivery, capacity planning, and monitoring and troubleshooting mission critical business applications.
