Today, I am very pleased to announce that Log Insight, together with its technology and team, have been acquired by VMware. We are very excited for the opportunity to accelerate our vision and maximize the impact of our technology."

Log Insight combines analytics and log management technology and has the ability to analyze vast amounts of machine-generated data in real time.
