Splunk Case Study: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is a premier research university serving 29,000 students. UNLV has relied on machine data analytics to troubleshoot and manage the operational efficiency of its IT networks for several years, and now has repurposed its data to identify at-risk students and improve academic outcomes. Since deploying Splunk Enterprise, UNLV has seen many benefits including:

• Extending return on investment by reusing Learning Management System (LMS) data across IT operations, learning analytics and help desk support
• Providing personalized feedback and earlier intervention to struggling students
• Improving performance – one-third of students beat their predictions and earned an A or a B after receiving intervention materials
