Splunk Inc., which makes software that collects and indexes data, said it expects its initial public offering of 13.5 million shares to be priced between $8 and $10 apiece.

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it plans to sell about 12.5 million shares, with its selling stockholders offering the rest.

At the top of its expected price range, the company would have a market value of about $925.3 million.

As of January 31, the company had over 3700 customers, including Autodesk, Bank of America, Comcast, Harvard University, Viacom and Zynga.
