LogLogic Launches New Log Management Appliances for Mid-Market Companies

(March 20, 2008)-- LogLogic 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 Coté, 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.

1. 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.

2. Mid-Market HIPAA Appliance – Designed for regional hospitals and healthcare organizations to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

3. 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.

4. Mid-Market FISMA Appliance: Designed for smaller government agencies and departments to comply with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).

5. 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.

"With LogLogic, we expect to get a log management solution that allows us to do data collection, reporting, archiving, fail-back and backup functionalities.”
