State of Integration Today | New Requirements
• Hybrid Reality− Data/apps on-premise and in cloud− Must connect and scale securely
• More Fragmentation− 100s of apps & distributed endpoints− Versioning headaches
• Varied Data Type− Structured, Unstructured, Semi..− Big Data, Social/mobile
Connecting Internet of Things

SnapLogic Elastic Integration Hybrid Architecture• Execute integration
pipelines (workflows) in cloud, or on-premise or both
Secure Operations• Securely orchestrate
business processes that traverse cloud & ground assets

The SnapLogic Value PropositionConnect to anything to anything - anywhere: On-premise, cloud; batch to low-latency
Extensible: Open SDK and REST API
Ease of deployment & management: 3X-5X faster than hand-coding and legacy integration
Agile - Time to value: Enable “citizen developer”: 3X-6X less development time
ROI: Subscription licensing, less time to value 2X-6X improvement ROI

Higher order benefits for Splunk customers
The value of individual items of data is limited, the value comes when it can be related and intelligence derived
E.g. an intrusion detected on an IP address is inconvenient (but interesting), the value of that is significantly higher if it can be supplemented with user, device and location

Integrated Insights Solving the Log Data Mystery
• Machine Data provides clues to possible problems
• Hi-Level decisions need machine data correlated with reference and master data
• Today these sources live in cloud and on-prem systems
• Insight and knowledge come as a result of integration
