University College Dublin has honoured the co-founders of Logentries by presenting them with the NovaUCD 2013 Innovation Award.
The award was in recognition of the global success and impact which Logentries, a UCD spin-out company, has achieved in making log management and analytics accessible to virtually anyone.
Established in 2010, Logentries has to date raised $11.1 million in funding from Polaris Partners, Floodgate, Frontline Ventures, RRE Ventures and Enterprise Ireland.
At the event Dr Trevor Parsons, Logentries’ co-founder and chief scientist said: “Logentries, with offices in Dublin, Prague and Boston, is now looking to double its size and in the coming months we will be seeking to fill 20 open engineering positions in Dublin where the company is looking for software developers, data scientists and devops engineers.”
Logentries is a SaaS-based, log management service for collecting and analysing huge quantities of log event data and making that data easily accessible to improve IT and business operations. While traditional log management and analytics solutions require advanced technical skills to use or are costly to set-up, Logentries helps developers, IT professionals and business analysts easily unlock the power of log data to improve their operations.
Logentries was spun-out of University College Dublin’s Performance Engineering Laboratory in UCD’s School of Computer Science and Informatics, after a decade of joint research with IBM.
The company continues to work closely with UCD’s Performance Engineering Laboratory on research in areas of Big Data and distributed systems.
On receiving the award, Dr Trevor Parsons, co-founder and chief scientist, Logentries, said: “Logentries is a great example of the Irish start-up ecosystem at work. From conception within University College Dublin and with a kick-start from incubators like NovaUCD and Dogpatch Labs, Logentries is now in a position where it has been backed by leading US and Irish investors to the tune of $11 million, and now has tens of thousands of users and is in use in over 100 countries.”
Dr Viliam Holub, co-founder and Logentries’ chief technical officer added: “We are expanding our team rapidly right now and in particular are hoping to attract more talented employees for our Dublin office from a range of disciplines including software development, data scientists & devops engineers.”
