LogLogic Announces MSP Partner Program

Leading provider of LMI platform to Managed Service Providers formalizes program

SAN JOSE, CA – October 3, 2007 – LogLogic®, the log management leader, today announced a new Managed Services Provider (MSP) Partner Program. Via this program, MSPs can now utilize LogLogic's industry-leading log management and intelligence (LMI) platform to extend their managed services offerings for their customers to collect, analyze, store and alert on virtually any log source.

Compliance and operational demands are requiring MSPs to offer managed services beyond security devices to servers, network devices, and applications. LogLogic, together with MSP program partners — including VeriSign, BT Counterpane, NetBoundary, CynergisTek and more — enables customers to make better operational and financial decisions by using log data to provide a holistic view of system and user activity, policies and business impacts.

"With the increasing need to meet corporate mandates and best-practices frameworks, which both require collection, archival, and analysis of logs, customers are increasingly turning to managed services to alleviate the complexity of log management," said Robert Yusin, Vice President of Worldwide Field Operations at LogLogic. "LogLogic is partnering with industry-leading MSPs to usher in this new era of on-demand security event management and log management and intelligence."

LogLogic's Open Log Services Architecture delivers a log management platform on which differentiated services offerings can be built. The architecture is fully compliant with a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which accelerates portal and workflow integration. Combining 100% log collection at speeds exceeding 75,000 messages per second for a single appliance with sophisticated reporting and alerting, 'Google-like' search, and secure storage, MSPs are now able to provide additional services and solutions to customers.

"[Log management services] are being driven by clients that need to meet compliance requirements and are seeking an alternative to buying and implementing a security information/event management product," said Kelly Kavanagh, Principal Research Analyst at Gartner in the Gartner August 2007 Magic Quadrant for MSSPs, North America, 1H07." "We expect to see more demand for these offerings and increased functionality from service providers during the next six to 12 months."

"LogLogic's log management and intelligence technology provides significant value to our customers, who are placing a premium on automating compliance, mitigating risk and protecting information assets," said Mac McMillan, CEO at CynergisTek. "Compliance has driven demand making log management no longer on option, but a requirement."

Similar to the recently announced LogLogic Partner Program (aimed at VARs and SIs), the LogLogic MSP Partner Program is tiered to drive mutual success in different segments of the market. Providing robust sales, marketing, and training initiatives, the Program enables MSPs to simultaneously grow revenue and margins. Highlights of the program include:

  • Opportunity Registration delivers a clear engagement model. LogLogic's program provides additional margin for Partner-identified opportunities, and rewards the Partner financially, even if the opportunity they register is closed by a different Partner.
  • On-Site Partner Training Advantage including free on-site sales training and free on-site technical training.
  • Market Advantage delivers sales and marketing tools, including co-operative marketing initiatives.
  • Partner Connection: A significantly upgraded portal that includes rich training content, podcasts and sales material.

"With LogLogic's '100%-pure partner' commitment and historical success in generating revenues and providing support for our VARs and SI partners, it was a natural 'next-step' to formalize an MSP partner program," said Yusin. "LogLogic has already established traction and integrated services with leading MSPs, and looks forward to growing the log services market."

LogLogic's MSP partners provide a variety of log management services from comprehensive deployment services, 100% log collection and filtering from any connected data source (including networking and storage devices, servers, and applications), 24/7 security monitoring, centralized portal reporting and notification, and more.
