Splunk, the data intelligence company, is today releasing the latest version of its enterprise product which offers some interesting new economies  when it comes to storage costs as well as a deeper visualization offering.

First to the cost side of the release, Splunk is promising that the new pricing for long-term data storage for its enterprise product will cut historical data storage costs with Splunk Enterprise by 40 to 80 percent, whether deployed on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment.
