Turning Machine Data into Agentic Action: Splunk Now Available in Cisco Cloud Control

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud operations, the ability to observe, secure, and manage complex environments is no longer a luxury—it is a baseline requirement. Today, we are excited to announce a significant milestone in our commitment to simplifying the IT lifecycle: Splunk is now available within Cisco Cloud Control for U.S. customers.

This integration marks a pivotal step in bridging the gap between infrastructure management and deep-data observability, providing teams with a unified lens into their multi-cloud environments.

The Foundation: Cisco Data Fabric Powered by the Splunk Platform

Beyond this immediate integration, the availability of Splunk within Cisco Cloud Control represents a larger, transformative vision: the Cisco Data Fabric powered by the Splunk Platform.

In a world where data is generated at an exponential rate, organizations often struggle with "data gravity"—the difficulty of moving, managing, and extracting value from siloed information across the network, security, and application stacks. The Cisco Data Fabric changes the narrative by:

Breaking Down Data Silos: When the cost of moving, duplicating, and storing telemetry gets too high, visibility slows down, resilience weakens, and AI innovation stalls. By creating a common language between your network telemetry and application logs, the Cisco Data Fabric ensures that data isn't just stored—it's usable.

AI-Driven Intelligence: Action is where intelligence becomes execution. By leveraging the Splunk platform’s advanced analytics across the Cisco ecosystem, we provide predictive insights that allow teams to preemptively address potential outages or security threats.

Unified Context: Context is what helps humans and AI understand what is happening, why it matters, and what to do next. Whether you are looking at network performance or endpoint security, the Cisco Data Fabric connects the dots, providing a holistic view that allows for more informed, data-backed decision-making.

Accelerating Operations with AI Canvas

To further simplify how you interact with your data, we are also highlighting the seamless integration between Splunk and AI Canvas.

AI Canvas transforms the way operators troubleshoot and optimize their environments. By integrating AI Canvas with the Splunk platform within Cisco Cloud Control, you gain a generative-AI-powered multiplayer workspace that allows you to:

• Visualize Complex Workflows: Use AI-driven, intuitive canvas environments to map out infrastructure dependencies and security vectors, making complex troubleshooting tasks significantly more accessible. Use powerful tools like Splunk MCP server and AI Toolkit to connect and build your own custom agents and workflows within Cisco Cloud Control.
• Simplify Complex Queries: Take advantage of Splunk AI Assistant to translate natural language requests into powerful Splunk queries, reducing the barrier to entry for complex data analysis and democratizing observability across your team.
• Accelerate Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR): AI Canvas helps correlate events surfaced by the Cisco Data Fabric, guiding operators toward the root cause with visual, AI-assisted recommendations.

Why This Integration Matters

Managing disparate tools for infrastructure orchestration and data security often leads to a "swivel-chair" approach to operations where your team can end up pivoting back and forth between an array of tools and various alerts in a quick, reactive manner. By bringing Splunk’s industry-leading data platform and AI-driven capabilities into the Cisco Cloud Control ecosystem, we are streamlining those workflows and core processes by giving you the power of the Cisco Data Fabric at your fingertips.

Key Benefits for Your Operations

• Unified Observability: Gain immediate access to Splunk’s powerful analytics directly from your Cisco Cloud Control interface. This eliminates the need to jump between consoles to investigate performance bottlenecks or security anomalies.
• Enhanced Security Posture: Leverage the intelligence of the Splunk platform alongside the orchestration capabilities of Cisco Cloud Control to automate responses to security events, ensuring your cloud environment is protected by an integrated, intelligent fabric.
• Operational Efficiency: Reduce the overhead of managing siloed integrations. With a standardized path, your team can focus on innovation rather than platform maintenance.

The addition of Splunk to Cisco Cloud Control is a testament to the power of our combined ecosystem. By integrating deep observability, with robust security and infrastructure management through the Cisco Data Fabric powered by the Splunk Platform, we are empowering IT and Security Operations teams to operate with greater confidence and agility.

We invite you to explore these new capabilities within your Cisco Cloud Control console today. As we continue to integrate our portfolios, we remain focused on one goal: delivering a seamless, secure, and high-performing cloud experience for every customer.
