A comment on Cisco Acquires Splunk. Parent comment
Back in the day, I worked for an automation company. The software was called "Blade Runner." This was in the era when blade servers were all the rage.
Turns out you can't use a copyrighted name, so they changed it from "Blade Runner" to "BladeLogic." (All the directories are still "BR" btw.)
A bunch of the people from BladeLogic pulled a Mark Zuckerberg and moved from the Boston area to the Bay Area and founded SumoLogic, hence the name.
