Simplified Use for Help Desk and Call Center Personnel and Improved Support for Large Data Sets
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17 -- Splunk, creators of the original IT Search engine for logs and IT data, today released Splunk 3.1 including Form Search and enhanced Data Management.

Splunk can archive IT data based on time or size, and archived data can be quickly recalled by for historical searches.
