Mar 20 -- LogLogic Inc., a provider of log management solutions, announced Tuesday new appliances architected and priced specifically for the enterprise mid-market, whose annual revenues range between US$ 400 million and US$ 1 billion. These new log management appliances provide comprehensive log data compliance mandate assurance, while making it easy for mid-market systems administrators to install, configure, operate and maintain them.
Compliance mandates, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), require companies to track, manage, and report on their log data in order to comply with regulations and promote internal security and availability.
LogLogic of San Jose, California provides enterprise-class platform for collecting, storing, reporting and alerting IT log data from virtually any device, operating system or application. LogLogic 4 LX and ST systems address the compliance, operations and risk mitigation needs of the global enterprises. LogLogic offers users a search engine for fast-moving IT log data, and compliance suites that automate using that data to enforce critical controls and regulations.
"Complying with regulations and audit requirements are the norm for medium to enterprise companies now-a-days," said Michael Coté, Software Industry Analyst for RedMonk. "Without getting too bogged down in creating custom built systems that require initial setup and then ongoing care-feeding, medium sized companies would really like to just plug something in and be done with it. While larger organizations may have the time, inclination, and need for more customized solutions, mid-sized companies want log management driven compliance that's low hassle and gets the job done rather than having to carve out what they need from a broader platform."
LogLogic is introducing five new mid-market log management appliances that cater to specific business requirements. Each appliance includes a Compliance Guide Book and a Compliance and Control Suite with over 100 out of the box, in-depth compliance reports and alerts. The single form factor appliance also incorporates up to one-year on-board log archival, as well as a combination of indexed log data for fast Google-like search and customizable normalized reports. Pricing starts at US$ 37,500.
The LogLogic Mid-Market PCI appliance is designed for retailers handling credit card transactions to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard and to safeguard credit card holder information in general. The LogLogic Mid-Market HIPAA appliance is designed for regional hospitals and healthcare organizations to comply with the HIPAA. The LogLogic Mid-Market SOX appliance is designed for mid-sized organizations and financial institutions required to comply with the SOX Act specifically or using the COBIT 4.1 IT best practices and controls framework. The LogLogic Mid-Market FISMA appliance is designed for smaller government agencies and departments to comply with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). The LogLogic Mid-Market ITIL appliance is designed to help mid-sized organizations accelerate IT problem resolution through search and drill-down reporting and by leveraging ITIL's IT Services best practices.
"IT compliance initiatives are a top priority for us, and we know that LogLogic offers one of the premier log management appliances," said Linnie Gooch, Manager of IT Security at Wescom Credit Union. "With LogLogic, we expect to get a log management solution that allows us to do data collection, reporting, archiving, fail-back and backup functionalities."
LogLogic's new line of mid-market appliances offers robust functionality relied upon by enterprises globally to drive, meet or exceed their compliance, security and information asset protection initiatives, including the ability to process custom log sources and customize reports, custody features for enterprise-grade log data archival protection, a fully-featured SOA and web services API and high-availability features, such as fully redundant hardware components and automated backup and restore functionality.
"We've been selling to mid-market customers for more than five years, and we've found they often want top-grade enterprise solutions, but just can't make them work into their IT budgets," said Michael Davis, CEO of Savid Technologies. "With the new log management appliances, LogLogic has broadened the quality and capability of log management available at a price range that is fair for the mid-market while showing a key sensitivity to the needs of the mid-market – ease of installation, configuration, usage and most importantly, maintenance."
"Mid-market companies need solutions tailored to help them meet their unique compliance and regulatory requirements," said Dominique Levin, EVP Marketing, Products and Business Development at LogLogic. "LogLogic has a proven record of success with global enterprises and now mid-market enterprises can benefit from our extensive experience and leadership in the log management marketplace."
