Okay, we're back everyone. We're here live at the Splunk conference.conference where they're spinning data exhaust into gold, as the customers have been saying. I'm John Furrier with SiliconANGLE. This is theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events, extract a signal from them, and there are two special guests. You know, everyone loves the Splunk products. We've heard from customers, they love it. And these are the guys who are building the products. We have the SVP, Guido Schroder. Thanks for coming on theCUBE. And Director of Engineering from BugSense, John Weston, and I'm John Weston. Yeah, did they get it right? Yeah. Okay, welcome to theCUBE. Nice to be here. Nice to be here. So my first question, Guido, is to you is, you know, you guys are a very product-centric company and a lot of success, a lot of happy customers. So that must make the product guys feel really good to know that the products are really well-resonated with the customer base. You know, I remember when I was here last year. That was my first year at Splunk. I had a lot of fun talking to Jeff and Jeff. And they said, hey, it's so great to see you, so enthused. And I have to tell you, this year, I'm feeling even more pumped up than last year. So customers continue to be very happy with the product. You know, we built a great team. I mentioned this before somewhere else. You know, almost doubled since I'm on board. And it's just a lot of good momentum. And I, you know, I mean, I said also in the keynote, you know what, if we don't package some fun into the product in the factory, it won't come out on the other side. That's how I try to run the show. You know, we need to have some fun and I hope the customers, and you got some of, you know, that feeling that we have back in the factory in San Francisco across. Well, it definitely shows here that people are excited. You have a great ecosystem of partners, big names, you know, Ariston Networks, the Palo Alto Nerds on the network side, a lot of applications, folks out there as well, as well as great customer base. So congratulations on the success. Thank you. John, I wanted to ask you a quick question. You're new to the family. Yeah. BugSense was an acquisition that was tucked in quickly into the team. What attracted you to these guys and talk about how that deal came together? Yeah. So first of all, we're super excited being part of the Splank family. It's actually a natural fit, not only from the product wise, because we're really excited about the product wise, because we're actually big data for mobile. These guys are big data for the end of things, for everything, for every single data source out there. It was more of a mentality issue and a cultural issue. We always try to provide value to the customers, and that's exactly what we saw here with Splank. These guys are super fun, are product wise, and we definitely see like a bigger bug sense. We never imagined that a public company could be so innovative, so product- I don't know if I'm getting through. Product centric. Yeah. It's really amazing. And it feels like home. I would never imagine that I could feel like home in a public company. Well, you're lucky to be early in on this company, because obviously it's a rocket ship, and looking at the 10-year history, you look about five years ago, they kind of had that inflection point where great product market fit as a tool, as a great utility, and then hit the mega trend of big data, which is essentially a complete platform rewrite, huge opportunity, and you got converged infrastructure, you got cloud, all kind of exploding. So, you know, you're seeing the company... John, do you mind just one quick interrupt? I would really love to add a few words or color to just what John said in terms of, you know, the match between the two companies. Yeah, absolutely. Go ahead. So, they actually called themselves Splank for Mobile. And that's certainly flattering.  I think it's a young team, you know, they also like fun, similar energy. I mean, you saw John today on stage, the speed, velocity, he came up there, and I think that matches very well how we are. And then you remember where our name comes from, right? Splunking, searching through the caves. And, you know, I think this bug-sensing with the Armadillo is a very similar metaphor, right? Yeah, and I guess, you know, if you were Splunking, you need also some bug-sense. It makes perfect sense now. So, when was the moment you said, hey, you know, we got to get these guys on board? When did you guys come to that conclusion? I mean, we took a close look at the product. We took a close look at the team and, you know, just thought this would be the right fit. I mean, they have a very solid product. It's a great team. You know, we compared it with other options out in the market. I think they have, you know, also a very good momentum in the marketplace with customers. And, you know, it just went all very fast then.  Also thought, this is the right thing to do. And I believe we have a huge opportunity to get out of us. It's a great cultural fit. It sounds like, well, first of all, John's excited. You're excited. On the integration side, what's the challenge there? Is there a challenge? Is it a hit in the ground running? Is it integrating into the product? Give us a quick update on the product space now. I guess one thing we need to disclose, and this was maybe, you know, if there was a concern, the only concern, and maybe biggest concern is that John's team is today entirely in essence. So the product part of the team is based in essence. And they are joining us in San Francisco. There's a little bit of, you know, transfer of people required, but they are all excited about the opportunity and ready to it, a little bit of formalities. We have to work through, but it's going to happen. And I guess, you know, within the next, I don't know, couple of months, they will be up there in San Francisco. Well, you don't want to take that away completely. You talk about having fun. You can always make sure you get to the Greek islands and have some fun over there. But, you know, so integration and John needs to take over there to explain a little bit more how this is going to work. But I think, first of all, you have to understand what Buxense really brings to the table for us. They have really three components. I mean, one is the SDKs that they have for the different mobile operating systems. They do this on Windows. They do this on Android. They do this on iOS. They do this also in a pure HTML based version, you know, that we can run on the different clients. And the purpose of that component is really to capture data on the device level. That's number one. The second piece is, you know, call it a gateway or a connector that we have sitting between the analytics and the devices. And that's another problem. They have solved extremely well at Buxense and at a very large scale. And then the third piece, you know, is really the analytics you do on the back-end side to provide visibility. What are customers doing with the applications? How do the devices behave? Where do we have crashes and things like that? And maybe John can dive in to tell you a little bit more about how we are, you know, moving some of that now on Splunk technology and how we are moving forward with the pieces that Buxense brings to the table. John, go ahead. Give us more detail on that. So, as Guido said, there are three components. The SDKs are going to remain as they are. All the fun begins on the second part and the third part. So, what we're going to do is trying to integrate some of our parts inside Splunk and, of course, going to use Splunk queries because the main issue we have right now is that we have a system that can accept data and collect data from hundreds of millions of devices that are hitting a database imagine like 200 million devices sending data all the time. And we analyze them on the fly in real time and giving them some insights, some results. The thing is that these results, these aggregator results are static. So, we have decided that developers need to know how many unique users their application has. What we want to do is we want to use the magic of Splunk and we're going to give the freedom to developers in order to search the logs. So, they could say, okay, I'm going to run a new query that is going to correlate how many unique users I have on this specific course version in this specific country and then using Splunk 6 I'm going to have some nice infographics, analytics, everything just like that. So, it's a huge, a huge step and I think we're going to take mobile device analytics to a whole different level. Imagine having the velocity that Baxence has and the speed that we aggregate data and of course all the knowledge that we accumulated all these years with the big data technology that Splunk has to offer. So, you're going to keep the developer community pretty stable where it's at from your perspective Splunk underneath it to enable more functionalities, is that what you're saying? Yeah, yeah, you're going to run whatever, you're actually going to Splunk your way through log data. Splunk your sense. Splunk your sense, yeah. We certainly bring a lot more sets and history in the analytical piece to the table and they clearly focus more on the mobile part and I think it's just a great match. I mean, one other thing I wanted to say, one reason why I was so excited about this acquisition is that mobile is really one of the, you know, big mega trends in the industry that are pretty much shaping and changing everything and clearly we need to be fully present there and we are doing actually more on mobile. I mean, there are also activities going on on the consumption side. How do you get Splunk content on mobile devices? This is a little bit more focused on analytics of mobile applications but at the same time, we clearly see also a need and demand that our customers for getting the content, getting search onto devices like an iPad or a phone. So it sounds like a roadmap issue for you there but really today, you get the cloud announcement, you have mobile with bug sense because the application market is still early, right, in mobile performance and application management. Is it still, how early is it there? You mentioned to the end game there. How early is it in mobile for your app performance there? Oh, wow. You know, it depends on how you look at it.   There are 100,000, I don't know those counts of applications that are also, from that perspective, you know, I would assume we have seen already quite a bit of the growth but the other perspective to look at it I think is a little bit more from a maybe maturity perspective and that's what I mentioned in the keynote. So, you know, the enterprise is also going mobile now. They try to, you know, do a lot of things on mobile and then, you know, you run into a lot of problems. Applications don't perform. Applications are not secure. We had actually a security keynote today and I mean, there is a lot of stuff being sent to phones today that you probably want to be worried about as a, you know, chief security officer at a company and this is really, you know, these are some of the problems that we try to tackle and I think from that perspective the industry is by far not mature and that opportunity is really just opening up to help all companies, you know, kind of develop solid mobile services for their employees, for their customers. I mean, it's table stakes now. It's pretty much the done deal. We know mobile's here. One of your customers in the, it was a trade me, said 40% in New Zealand, 40% of all the traffic now is mobile. 40% and growing like a weed. So that brings up the question of performance.  And I've heard from Gartner, I don't have the statistics myself, but I attended a Gartner event and they said, hey, you know what, there are actually a lot more mobile application developments kicked off now at your customers than there are, you know, actually there's a standard rich desktop or a web client based projects. And I think that is really telling the story that we're at some momentum moving, it's clearly moving into mobile, and it makes a lot of sense for companies to enable their employees with mobile. I want to get you guys take on two trends. One, obviously as you mentioned, the consumerization of IT and that's mobile. And two, the internet of things, which is trending here at the conference. A lot of conversations around IoT internet of things, which is a mobile kind of application, which has analytics. How do you guys see those trends attacking with the bug sense and the cloud product you have there? You see that part of the key part of the conversation now? Or is that more on the roadmap for you guys in terms of a market opportunity with the products? You want to take it? Yeah, definitely the market is exploding. Every single device out there is sending us data, traffic lights, mobile phones, systems. So even though we are talking about internet of things, it's more like mobile, because everything is on the move, it's sending us data. Even our homes are starting sending us data. So what we were trying to do with bug sense and we couldn't do because we didn't have the expertise or the knowledge or the technology, is try to aggregate all this data in one single dashboard. So we could connect industries. We could connect guys that were developers, guys that were business analysts, the HR, all these guys all together. And that's what we're trying to do now with Splunk. We're going to offer our mobile part and we're going to Splunk and with these guys' expertise, we're going to have the pie as a whole for the first time. And I think that's pretty exciting and that's a very, very difficult thing that nobody else has managed to do that yet. I think it's an interesting question you ask. How does this relate to internet of things? If you think about it, mobile devices are just one particular type of thing that is out there in the internet and actually the problem I believe that bug sense has solved might be really a precursor to move on to other stuff. I mean if you go to appliances or you go to sensors, maybe they're on a different operating system on it that is less sophisticated but the problem is very similar. You have some piece of device or hardware out there that is sending some data to a service that actually wants to make some sense out of it and I believe that we are very well equipped with some of the things that we have learned already to tackle these other problems as well. I think it's really exciting. I think the internet of things to me is an edge device, watch, sensor, network. They're all thrown off data and it's diverse data, unstructured data, really nice, really nice. And the boundaries are constantly moving. I mean talk about flyer builds and variable builds and maybe implant builds. We heard this today in several places, maybe in the future our dental implants or whatever have also something built in that you can do predictive maintenance. I mean machinery too, airplanes, cars. It sounds a little bit scary but there are also a lot of good uses to it. I know we're getting close on time and you guys got to go but I want to ask you one final question for both of you guys, same question. What's the most exciting thing about this new relationship between bug sense and Splunk? What's deep down getting you most excited? Could it be a business issue? Could it be a societal change? Could it be a product feature? John, we'll start with you. So, for me personally the most exciting thing is that I'm going to work with people that are shaping the big data industry and I'm really, really excited being next to people that have great knowledge of what's going to be the next thing and not only knowledge, they know how to deliver. So for us it's super important because as a startup as you can imagine we're trying to innovate again and again and again and again. These guys know that no, we're going to do this and this is going to be the next thing. So for me it's super exciting having someone else on the wheel and being right there helping them with everything we can. It's super exciting. You know, my answer is really not much far away from what John is saying. So, you know, we have a very diverse culture at Splunk and I always and everyone at Splunk welcomes new people that bring a different perspective and a different background with them.  They know mobile inside out. That's what they have been breezing and you know, I think it would be fun to work with that team and I just see, you know, a lot of interesting new product coming out of this relationship and that's exciting to me. Having fun, working hard, playing hard. Splunk is a great company.  Great story here at Splunk. Again, this is theCUBE with the founder of Bug Sense and the SVP of Prost with a company growing up fast on a rocket ship live in Las Vegas. This is Silicon Angles theCUBE. I'm John Furrier. We'll be back with our next guest after this short break. Thanks John. Thank you.


Hey stampers, welcome to another Watch It Weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth, part of the Stamping Gel Creative Team, and I am so excited to show you this awesome product today. If you've ever come across our channel or anybody else's really fun projects and felt a little bit overwhelmed, I wanted to show you a project that is gonna be right up your alley. So a couple of years ago, Stampin' Up came out with a pamphlet that features some of our basic products that you can get started with. And one that they have in this year's pamphlet is the Simply Citrus card kit. It is an all-inclusive card kit. It has everything in it you need to make 15 cards and the envelopes are included, but it also has a clear block and a little stamp in spot. So it's like a little stamp pad, just small, and a stamp set. So everything you need comes right in this box for only $32. It's a really great value. So I wanted to show you start to finish what getting a box like this would look like. You can order this from us and it will come in a box just like this. I would suggest having a pair of scissors to work with and you'll also want some Stampin' Seal. There is adhesive available that comes with this, but I feel like having your own Stampin' Seal is helpful. It's not necessary, but it's helpful. So you'll just undo this cute box. See all the little citrusy things on there? So cute. Open it up and inside here's the stamp set. So cute. It says, thanks for being you. Just a note, hello sunshine, way to go. And these are photopolymer stamps so you can see through them. It makes stamping really, really simple. It also comes with a night of navy stamp in spot. This is the one I was telling you is just a little stamp pad. So you can just open it like this. And there it is, just like that. I'll show you how to use that. And then you pull out this package here. Here's what it looks like. Gives you a little sample of what the cards look like. There are five cards, three of each of these designs. So 15 cards total with these super, super cute envelopes as well. So we'll open up this with our scissors. Everything's all nice and packaged in here together. Here is your little clear block that you can stamp with. Each one of these stamps will fit on this clear block and you get to keep this. So if you have other stamp sets, it's almost the size of one of our D blocks. It's comparable. So you kind of know which size it's gonna be.  Here are all of the envelopes. So cute, little citrus themed. I love the colors of this kit. These are the adhesive that you can use. They're like little glue dots. So you just would take off one side of the clear and put it on and then peel it off and it will stick on just like an adhesive. Those are fine. They will hold your projects. I just really like the stamp-in seal so much better. And then you'll have your card bases. That's what these are. So we'll have three of each. That cute design. This one. The colors in this kit are just fabulous. This one. And the bright, bright yellow. And then these other papers here, you punch out. So they're pre-cut, printed, pre-printed and pre-cut.  So you've got a few different designs that go with these particular cards. You can kinda see. They're pre-printed. They just pop right out. Really, really simple. And then these are the ones we're going to be stamping our sentiments on. And they just pop out as well, just like that. So we have all of our product. We'll take this little sheet that comes with it. And on the inside, they give us in many languages. Like tips, it tells what's included. It gives you the steps of things to do. And also, if you have other stamp-in-up product and you wanna coordinate with any of these, it tells you the coordinating colors right here. So in this kit, it's Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Just Jade, Mango Melody, Night of Navy and White, which is kind of cool. And then it gives you a color copy here at each of the cards.  Like how much to cut your baker's twine, how long to cut it to, and how to assemble even. And if they use dimensionals or if they use those little glue dots. So there's all of your cards. So I wanted to choose one card from this kit to stamp for you, just so you could see how simple the process is from start to finish. I really, really love this Hello Sunshine card. So I'm gonna pull all of the product that I need for that card. I need one of these for my sentiment. I need one of these for the card base. I love this. Look how cute. Look how cute. Okay, so I'm gonna stamp on there.  Oh, and I need a night of navy one here. I'm gonna use the little guys. Punch that out. So this layer, and then this. And then that. Cute. And then these. And it says I need 16 inches of twine. Pull out my baker's twine here. And it looks like I need three of these little flowery embellishments, which are super cute. I don't know if you can see those very well. They're almost like a plastic. I thought they would be vellum, but they're kind of like a hard plastic. Really cute. Okay, so I'm gonna cut 16 inches of baker's twine so that I can do just as it says here. Okay, I'm gonna take my block. I'm gonna use a piercing mat because when you're working with photopolymer stamps, it's really helpful to have a little bit of padding underneath so that you can get a really crisp image when you stamp. So I'm gonna take my little lemon image here first because I'm gonna stamp these cute lemons with the night of movie. So for these, I'm gonna take my stamp in spot and since it's so small, I'm gonna turn my stamp upside down and ink it this way. That way I'm gonna be able to see that the entire thing is inked and not get ink all over the place. And then I'm gonna be able to line it up really easily because it's photopolymer and stamp that. Cute. Look at that. Oh my gosh, I almost got it like perfect. Since I said that, now I'm not gonna get any other ones perfect. Stamp that. But it's okay if it's not perfect because it just looks cute, however you decide to do it. Turn it. See, that one's a little bit off, but I think it's still cute, so I'm leaving it and stamp that. I also wanna give a little bit of definition to these leaves.  Gosh, that's, I can't believe I get those right on. That makes it really easy. Like that. It just gives so much definition. Like how cute that is. Kind of digging it. Okay, see that one's a little off, but it's not bad, it's actually really cute. And I'm kind of like a perfectionist stamper, so I'm kind of digging it. Okay, and then just this little one on the edge. There we go. So there's one part of our little card done. I just need to stamp the sentiment now. I clean this off and we'll switch it out. We're gonna stamp Hello Sunshine. I'm just gonna same thing, turn it around and ink it up so I can see that I've got the whole image nice and inky. And then I've got this little cute pre-cut paper, then I'm gonna stamp it in. And it fits just perfectly on it, just like that. So cute. Okay, so my stamping's done. Now I just have to assemble. Okay, so we're gonna start with this little piece that I just stamped.  And this baker's twine is so, so cute. And it looks like we're tying it just in a simple bow. But the thing that's so great about these kits, if you didn't want to do it that way, you could change it. Using this baker's twine in any way on these cards is gonna be really cute because the colors all work really well together. So if you're not great at tying bows, which I'm not always great at tying bows, you could always do a knot or you could figure something else out that you're great at. All right, so I've got my bow tied like that. I'm gonna put on some dimensionals on this cute back piece here. They give you a full sheet of dimensionals so I'd say use them because dimension makes your cards super cute. I'm gonna peel those off. And then we're going to put it on the card just like this. Cute. Next, we're gonna add our Night of Navy little paper layer. You could use these dots, glue dots for that. I'm gonna choose to use my Stampin' Seal. If you haven't invested in Stampin' Seal yet, you should. It is awesome. I've really been enjoying it. I'm gonna put this on just like so. Oh, these colors are so beautiful. Loving them. Okay, that one's just flush with the paper, what you could do.  And that doesn't get mushed. So I'm gonna add a little dimensional under there. And then I'm gonna take my sentiment and add it right here. How cute is that? I might move this down just a little, just a hair, so we can see it a little bit better. So cute. And to me, it looks like there's dimensionals on that as well. If you wanted to mail these cards, you can always make them without dimensionals, assemble them without them, and then they're a lot easier to mail. But if you're giving them, dimensionals are always the way to go, I think. So we'll add our cute little sentiment there.  I am gonna use these little dots for that because they make it so easy. So you just peel one up, it's got the little wax paper on the back, kind of like the dimensionals do.  Look how cute. So, so cute. And so simple, you guys. Look how quick I just made that really, really cute card.  You can create something beautiful very quickly. Just feels good. You can give something that you made. Who doesn't love that? Okay, and then you fold your pre-scored card base. Grab one of these cute envelopes and you've got a little card to give. Isn't that fun? Love it. I'm so impressed with this card kit. So just as a refresher, this is the Simply Citrus card kit. It's an all-inclusive card kit. It's included in our annual catalog this year, but it's also shown in our Simplified pamphlet. If you don't know where to start or you're feeling a little bit overwhelmed with stamping up, this is a great place to start to get your creative juices flowing. So I hope you've loved this kit as much as I have. I can't wait to finish putting it all together and see the outcome. If you have any questions, please let us know or if you'd like to order this kit, you can find the link below to do that or visit us at stampingjill.com. Thanks so much for watching. We'll see you next week for another Watch It Weekly Wednesday.

We'll get these right out to you


Hey, what's up, man? Hey, it's your man Carlos Miller back. Once again, I got to introduce you to the number one enabler of my car habit, my brother, Chuckie.   What's up, bro? What's going on, man? Man, they wanted to ask a bunch of questions.    So they got some questions they want to ask. Top five things you look for in a new car. I just got to like my new car. I don't need a top five. That's the number one thing you should look for. Make sure you like it. We wasted four spots looking for that. Yeah, you got to make sure. Just got to like your car.  If it's new, you remember, you got to pay for it.  Because now you're going to want another car in three four years. Not even that long.  First time some tail up, man. You're like, hey, why even pay for this? I ain't going to know if I can custom that. Exactly. So now you say, I would say make sure you like it. Reliability. Make sure you get at least a good bargain for what you buy. Make sure the dealership that you're dealing with gives you some nice incentives. If it's the one that you want, you can be specific as hell. And you know, shop around. Make sure you don't just get sold on buying your car at one place because it got a name or somebody told you to go up there. Shop around. You know, give great things available for what you want. Yeah. Your money. Spend it how you want it. I'm with you on that. Exactly. That's more than five, but this got to be a woman. Because this next question says, what exactly is an alternator and what does it do? Charge your battery pretty much. That's it. It alternates from using your battery to the power that it's generating. It's a real complicated process. Just make sure you keep an alternator in your car, Miss Lane. They're very valuable. So can we get, like, expand on your answers a little bit? All right, I'll do it again. What exactly is an alternator and what does it do? An alternator. It charges you better. I don't know what more to say about an alternator. That's it. It's an alternator. It alternates.
