LogLogic Inc. has tethered its log management capabilities to EMC Corp.s Smarts Technology, enabling organizations to bolster their internal log discovery and log administration processes to help simplify and streamline overworked risk management and compliance efforts.

The company announced that its LogLogic automated log data and reporting software could be used in tandem with EMC Smarts to access, categorize and retrieve all log data regardless of where it resides within the IT enterprise.
