Case Study: Splunk achieves customized security and control with Intermedia Private Cloud for Exchange Email

With Exchange Email in a Private Cloud, Splunk customizes security and control

Splunk, a fast‑growing machine‑data and analytics company, needed enterprise‑grade email that would scale with its expansion while freeing engineering teams from on‑premises administration. Although Splunk had already moved to Intermedia’s public cloud, the company required greater control and the ability to integrate its proprietary analytics and monitoring into the Exchange environment — a need that steered it to a dedicated private cloud solution.

Intermedia’s Private Cloud delivered managed, single‑tenant Exchange with HostPilot tools that let Splunk retain administrative control while offloading routine maintenance. The deployment supports 5,500+ mailboxes, eliminated the need to hire two full‑time Exchange admins, simplified licensing and enabled Splunk to feed Exchange data into its analytics for improved threat detection — outcomes that led Splunk to recommend the private cloud for organizations needing customization and performance.
