Sumo Logic Showcases the Intelligence Economy at Illuminate 2019Company Delivers the Industry’s First Continuous Intelligence Solution for Kubernetes to Provide the Discoverability, Observability and Security Essential for Microservices Adoption; Demonstrates the Unique Power of Sumo Logic Global Intelligence with the 4th Annual Continuous Intelligence Report and GIS for Amazon Web Services GuardDuty; Expands Partnership with Google Cloud to Enable Choice & Application Modernization; Outlines a New Disruptive Credit-Based Licensing Model to Accelerate Digital Transformation REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sumo Logic, the leader in continuous intelligence, along with its community, partners and users, today brought the Intelligence Economy to life with a number of new announcements and innovations during President and CEO Ramin Sayar’s keynote at its third-annual user conference Illuminate. These innovations include the industry’s first Continuous Intelligence Solution for Kubernetes to help users make faster, better decisions to deploy reliable, scalable and engaging digital service. “In the Intelligence Economy, digital business is producing a tsunami of data that leaders and employees are under constant pressure to understand and act upon to drive great customer experiences. Without real-time insights that are actionable, these businesses risk falling into the intelligence gap, making them more vulnerable to disruption and irrelevance,” said Ramin Sayar, president and CEO for Sumo Logic. “Together with our user community, we’ve created a new category of software called continuous intelligence, which mirrors the operational and economic model of cloud computing, and is purpose built to help our customers close the intelligence gap and win in the Intelligence Economy.” A New Approach to Managing Microservices and Kubernetes Based Apps and Services The new Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence solution for Kubernetes provides improved discoverability, observability and security:
Through customizable dashboards and simplified, template-driven troubleshooting customers can quickly deploy the service and begin visually navigating Kubernetes data to discover performance issues across all data sources.
Customers receive seamless support for multi-cloud, multi-region and hybrid-cloud architectures with the ability to analyze the ephemeral nature of container-based application data without sacrificing performance or imposing high licensing costs.
This solution provides unprecedented DevSecOps visibility with security events included out of the box, strong integrations with the Kubernetes security ecosystem, and existing best in class security analytics and compliance functionality. Sumo Logic Global Intelligence: The Power of a Multi-tenant Cloud-native Platform Sumo Logic Global Intelligence for GuardDuty generates continuous machine learning and statistical baselines for KPIs (key performance indicators) and KRIs (key risk indicators) from AWS GuardDuty threat detection service. Those baselines are used by Sumo Logic customers to benchmark, prioritize, and optimize security configuration and detection for their AWS accounts. Expanded Multi-Cloud Support for Google Cloud Platform “Until now, adopting cloud meant choosing a vendor, being locked in, having only one choice, and facing an uphill battle integrating existing on-prem services. We launched Anthos to better serve customers who want the option of running their workloads in the environments best suited to their needs. Sumo Logic already supports more than 10 Google Cloud services. With the new support for Anthos and service mesh, our joint customers will now have line of sight visibility and real-time data intelligence from their Sumo Logic dashboards.” The Future of Sumo Logic Licensing and Packaging The new Sumo Logic Continuous Intelligence Suite of packages is in private beta. The packages come in four options tailored for the buyers and their use cases - Essentials Edition, Enterprise Operations Intelligence solution targeting Monitoring and Troubleshooting use case, Enterprise Security Intelligence solution targeting security analytics and Compliance use case and the all-encompassing Enterprise Suite. Volume discounts will be made available for all Enterprise packages. SUPPORTING QUOTES “At LendingTree, we’ve invested heavily in a microservices-based, multi-cloud strategy to maintain application reliability and manage cloud spend. It is critical that Sumo Logic is cloud neutral, which enables LendingTree to monitor our Kubernetes infrastructure in a cloud neutral manner. This is not possible without Sumo Logic.” “The Informatica cloud platform is a collection of dozens of microservices spanning multiple teams across the globe. When a production incident happens we use Sumo Logic for managing the incident to determine who are the affected services, updating the stakeholders site, troubleshooting the root cause analysis. Sumo Logic’s service-focused approach allows us to quickly trace customer issues down to Kubernetes problems, in a simple, easy-to-use interface.” "As a consumer learning company, our customers rely on our product as an important learning tool. This means continuous operational visibility into our systems is a top priority for our engineers. As we’ve scaled, Sumo Logic has played a key role in providing the data we need. Their Kubernetes solution puts them leaps and bounds ahead of competitors, allowing our team to automatically integrate new data sources." “Our mission is to provide fluid security to help enterprises secure their cloud native workloads at the speed of DevOps. We are excited to partner with Sumo Logic to help bridge the gap between DevOps and security teams by providing granular visibility for security and compliance events throughout the cloud native application lifecycle, from development to runtime in production.” “We’ve set the standard in container and Kubernetes security to protect cloud-native applications across build, deploy, and runtime. Now with the StackRox App for Sumo Logic, we can jointly help customers detect, investigate, and remediate vulnerabilities, insecure configurations, compliance violations, and runtime threats across their container and Kubernetes environments.” "We are excited to release this integration in partnership with the Sumo Logic team. Integrating Sumo Logic’s powerful log and metrics monitoring capabilities with Spinnaker’s leading cloud-native continuous delivery platform will provide the community with unparalleled insight into their software delivery process.” “The act of building quality software, and shipping it quickly, has become the core engine of value creation in companies across all industries. CircleCI allows teams to rapidly release code they trust by automating the build, test, and delivery process. Together with Sumo Logic, we’re now able to provide customers unprecedented visibility and control over their software development pipelines to better monitor and secure their DevOps pipeline to ensure quality and increase delivery velocity.” “The integration of JFrog Artifactory and Xray with Sumo Logic helps the DevSecOps community visualize the information coming from JFrog and correlate with other data sources to better understand the full impact of vulnerable artifacts across all environments - including Kubernetes. As JFrog continues to enable ‘Liquid Software,’ which delivers fast, automated and secure updates that flow continuously with no downtime, our partnership with Sumo Logic has become increasingly important in streamlining DevSecOps resources with their new Kubernetes solution.” Additional Resources
