Segware, a company that provides security management platforms for hundreds of monitoring companies worldwide, was facing challenges in managing its growing data needs, particularly with regards to storing and querying large volumes of event data. To address these challenges, the company turned to MongoDB's Atlas Data Federation solution, which allows it to federate its data across multiple storage systems, including hot and cold data. With Atlas Data Federation, Segware can efficiently access both frequently accessed "hot" data and less frequently accessed "cold" data, reducing storage costs and improving query performance. The solution also enables Segware to easily query data from different storage systems using a familiar MongoDB Query Language (MQL), without having to rewrite queries. As a result, Segware has seen improved cost-effectiveness and increased scalability, allowing it to manage its growing data volumes in a healthy way.
