Splunk S/W renewal

RFP-16206

We would like to solicit competitive pricing for a one-year Splunk license. We are asking vendors to quote our on-premises requirement at 10 GB/day, as well as several Splunk Cloud options at 150, 200, 250, and 300 GB/day. The different cloud tiers are intentional, as we are currently working to reduce Splunk consumption and want to understand the pricing impact at each level. This will allow us to compare the available options and determine the best fit based on our expected usage.
