LogLogic Launches New Log Management Appliances for Mid-Market Companies

Enterprise grade appliances deliver comprehensive log data compliance mandate assurance with straightforward ease of installation, configuration and operation

SAN JOSE, CA – March 18, 2008 – LogLogic®, the log management leader, today announced new straightforward appliances architected and priced specifically for the enterprise mid-market (annual revenues between $400 million and $1 billion). Without compromising the features and functionality that have made LogLogic the log management leader among the Fortune 500, 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) — now require companies to track, manage, and report on their log data in order to comply with regulations and promote internal security and availability.

"Complying with regulations and audit requirements are the norm for medium to enterprise companies now-a-days," said Michael Cote, 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 easily customizable normalized reports. Pricing starts at $37,500.

  • Mid-Market PCI Appliance — Designed for retailers handling credit card transactions to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard and to safeguard credit card holder information in general.
  • Mid-Market HIPAA Appliance — Designed for regional hospitals and healthcare organizations to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
  • Mid-Market SOX Appliance — Designed for mid-sized organizations and financial institutions required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act specifically or using the COBIT 4.1 IT best practices and controls framework.
  • Mid-Market FISMA Appliance — Designed for smaller government agencies and departments to comply with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
  • Mid-Market ITIL Appliance — 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."

Enterprise-Grade Functionality for the Mid-Market

LogLogic's new line of mid-market appliances offers most of the same robust functionality relied upon by more than 400 major enterprises globally to drive, meet or exceed their compliance, security and information asset protection initiatives, including the ability to process custom log sources and easily customize reports, chain of 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."

LogLogic's Mid-Market Aappliances are available now.
