Ameren chooses new log management system

San Jose, CA, Nov. 13, 2008 -- Ameren Corp., an electric and gas utility, has chosen LogLogic to supply its enterprise-class log management system.

LogLogic's log management and intelligence solutions are designed to allow Ameren to meet government regulatory requirements and improve real-time reporting and problem alerting by collecting user activity logs across a several computer systems inside the company.

St. Louis-based Ameren provides energy services to 2.4 million electric customers and nearly 1 million natural gas customers across Illinois and Missouri. Ameren is subject to regulatory compliance requirements such as the North American Electrical Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley. NERC regulatory requirements, as well as other compliance mandates, require Ameren to collect logs regularly across systems throughout the enterprise and report on these systems.

To meet this requirement, Ameren needed the ability to access this log data across an enterprise of more than 1,000 Windows severs and several hundred Unix servers, and to parse the data in order to report on it intelligently.
