Big data-crunching platform Splunk has announced plans to acquire VictorOps, an incident management platform for the DevOps community.
For the uninitiated, Splunk captures machine-generated data for the purpose of generating insights and “operational intelligence” through reports and visualizations. It basically gives businesses a broad view of their operations and helps them spot patterns and solve problems.
Founded out of Boulder, Colorado, VictorOps launched out of stealth way back in 2012, serving as a platform that helps developer teams manage their software infrastructure.
