iTWire - Splunk introduces machine learning, and intelligent service desk

Splunk has traditionally been a tool to ingest, index and enable searching across vast bodies of data from multiple disparate sources. Rick Fitz, Vice Presidents of IT Markets, explains the driving forces behind the introduction of machine learning, announced this week at the 7th annual Splunk conference, .conf Data doesn't live in a vacuum. Fitz states, "the goal of the data is how do I make better business decisions?" Consequently, Splunk has announced both a machine learning toolkit, and also the packaging of specific pre-built algorithms in a very consumable way within its IT Service Intelligence product.
