PROJECT NAME
Splunk Santana Row
Location
San Jose, CA
SIZE
325,000 SF
CHALLENGE
Splunk approached Creation Networks to expand their office space in San Jose. The AV project involved working closely with the designer, the builder, and the Creation Networks audiovisual team. The solution included outfitting conference rooms, training rooms, an all-hands space, Planar video walls, and LED digital signage throughout the facility, all to be completed in time for the Splunks opening.
THE SOLUTION
Creation Networks delivered a comprehensive audiovisual solution for the new building, incorporating Crestron UC technology throughout Splunk’s training center, meeting rooms, huddle spaces, and executive boardrooms to enhance efficiency and user experience. Seamless native integration with Zoom Rooms ensures that every space offers employees an intuitive one-touch interface. The facility is outfitted with Crestron touch panels, NVX, and wireless network AV systems to support digital signage, room scheduling, and secure wired and wireless presentations. With the Media Presentation System, the IT department can switch between video sources and distribute content across the office at the touch of a button, a capability that proves especially valuable when utilizing the LG video wall in the executive boardroom. As one of the first LED video walls installed on the West Coast, its deployment required close collaboration with LG. This partnership underscores a commitment to delivering exceptional client experiences and provides assurance of ongoing support throughout the product’s lifecycle.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Splunk’s customers benefit from the dedication and motivation of its employees. The goal of the new office was to create an environment that employees would genuinely enjoy—a place where anyone would want to work. Crestron technology empowers team members to collaborate effectively and fully leverage hybrid work schedules. The system enables seamless communication between in-office and remote teams while maintaining high levels of productivity. By adopting Crestron’s diverse range of form factors, Splunk has been able to tailor the audio and video experience to suit each space. Crestron Zoom Room Scheduling Panels further enhance productivity by allowing employees to reserve meeting rooms as easily as booking a hotel room. This scheduling system has been widely embraced, optimizing room usage and simplifying management. Employees quickly adapted to the technology, which has now become an effortless and integral part of their daily workflow.
Splunk teamed up with Creation Networks to seamlessly integrate all Crestron technology, shaping how the office operates and supports employees. The audiovisual setup is consistent across the space, making common areas and beyond more engaging. Music flows throughout the office, adding to the atmosphere as employees go about their day.
The new office space is full of personalized touches and cool amenities, like wellness rooms, lounges with interactive displays, and a café that doubles as a team meeting spot. The café features twelve large screens showing sports, news, company branding, and ads. To keep spirits high and celebrate employees, Splunk also uses signage to highlight work anniversaries, big milestones, and other special moments.
RESULTS
With Creation Networks as a trusted partner, Splunk has a scalable and secure AV platform that they can depend on. In addition to instilling confidence in their team, Crestron's technology enables them to focus on their data and drive success in other areas of the company as well.
"The success of this installation was largely due to the collaboration between Splunk and our team. Their involvement enabled us, as an integrator, to navigate the waves of solution changes and elevate the project to the next level."
