Sumo Logic Overview: Next-Generation Log Management & Analytics

Next-Generation Machine Data Analytics

“Our log files contain a huge amount of valuable data and with Sumo Logic we’re taking our forensic analysis to an entirely new level.” - Jan Fernando, Project Architect, Limelight Networks

The Sumo Logic Service effortlessly collects, manages, and transforms all your machine data—regardless of volume, type or location—into operational efficiency and security/compliance insights.

Our innovative approach helps modern enterprises finally leverage logs and other machine data to start improving their business by:

  • Accelerating application troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and monitoring
  • Improving IT infrastructure operations
  • Strengthening security and compliance posture

Sumo Logic also allows you to effortlessly collect log data of any type, without the need for agents, parsers, or appliances. Examples include:

  • Custom and off-the-shelf applications
  • Network infrastructure such as routers, switches, proxies
  • Systems, virtualization, and data center infrastructure
  • Security infrastructure such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems
  • Cloud infrastructure such as Akamai and AWS Cloudfront CDNs

Sumo Logic is designed for modern enterprises that operate private data centers but also embrace the cloud. Our advanced, cloud-powered analytics engine helps enterprises uncover valuable insights automatically.

Cloud-Based from the Ground Up:

Sumo Logic’s service slashes TCO by greatly simplifying provisioning and eliminating the need to manage your on-premise systems as well as purchasing costly network-attached storage and storage area networks.

Elastic Processing:

Sumo Logic’s patented Elastic Log Processing TM (ELP) engine scales each service component independently to meet each customer’s compute, storage and processing requirements on demand. ELP ‘s absolute scalability supports the first real-time indexing engine designed specifically for Big Data-scale volumes.

Universal Collection:

Sumo Logic is designed from the ground-up to securely and reliably collect data from any enterprise environment, including those with Big Data scale requirements. Data is securely and reliably collected through either local collection (via Sumo Logic Collectors) or through hosted collection (via https or directly from Amazon S3).

Managed Retention:

Sumo Logic retains all your log data in a highly secure, reliable repository so you never have to deal with data archiving, backups and restores, or redundancy strategies. And globally distributed data retention architecture keeps your log data available at all times for instant analysis.

Real-Time Forensics:

Our Real-Time Forensics engine delivers search results from terabytes of log data in seconds, uncovering valuable and actionable insights about new events occurring throughout your infrastructure. You can respond instantly to anomalous conditions to prevent network outages, uncover security breaches, and stave off application downtime.

Log Reduce and Anomaly Detection:

Patent-pending LogReduce® technology leverages machine learning to reduce millions of log lines into a single page of meaningful patterns. Anomaly Detection (based on LogReduce®) enables enterprises to extend beyond the human limitation of pre-defined rules and reports by automatically detecting anomalies in streams of machine data.
