Sumo Logic is a cloud-based log management and analytics service that leverages Big Data to deliver real-time IT insights, headquartered in Mountain View, California.[1] Sumo Logic’s service provides timely and actionable information, gleaned from any type or source of log data, that not only helps solve operational, security and compliance challenges but provides critical business insights as well.[2] Sumo Logic was founded in April 2010 by Kumar Saurabh and Christian Beedgen, and received funding from Greylock Partners, Sutter Hill Ventures and angel investor Schlomo Kramer.[3] The round of series B funding announced in January 2012 brings the company’s total venture capital backing to $20.5 million.[4]

Sumo Logic’s service plays into the Big Data phenomenon, where companies amass such large amounts of information that they cannot manage it easily. The company’s goal is to organize and manage Big Data for companies with easy to use analytics tools.[5] Sumo Logic’s architecture features an elastic petabyte scale platform that collects, manages and analyzes enterprise log data, reducing millions of log lines into valuable operational insights in real time.[6] Their cloud-based approach overcomes the inherent problems of premise-based solutions, including limits on scalability, inefficient or haphazard analysis, and uncontrolled costs.[7] Roblox, an online gaming company, integrates Sumo’s service into the Amazon Machine Images it uses to run its business.[8]

Sumo Logic is built around a globally distributed data retention architecture that keeps all log data available for instant analysis, eliminating the need for an enterprise to manage the cost and complexity of data archiving, backups and restoration.[9]

The service is entirely cloud-based and is maintenance free.[10]

Sumo Logic modeled its approach on that of Google, according to Christian Beedgen, the company’s CTO and one of its Cofounders. Sumo Logic uses advanced machine learning algorithms to whittle down mountains of log file data into common groupings, much the way Google News categorizes new stories distributed across the web, making it easier for administrators to synthesize the information.[11]

In January, 2012, RSA named Sumo Logic one of its top 10 finalists for the Most Innovative Company at RSA.[12]
