Case Study: LexisNexis Risk Solutions achieves faster, predictable fraud decisions with Aerospike

LexisNexis Risk Solutions reduces latency 4x with Aerospike

LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a provider of digital identity intelligence and fraud prevention solutions, faced the challenge of delivering real-time risk decisions at a global scale. Their legacy Cassandra database required too many nodes and was unable to provide predictable performance under heavy mixed workloads as data volume grew beyond 1.3 petabytes. They turned to Aerospike for a database solution that could handle millions of reads and writes per second while maintaining low latency.

By implementing Aerospike's hybrid memory architecture, LexisNexis achieved a 4x reduction in latency, from 120ms to 30ms. The solution also provided a 3.4x reduction in their server footprint, decreasing from 96 servers to just 28. This efficiency resulted in a projected cost savings of $3.3 million over three years. Aerospike delivered predictable performance and easy manageability, allowing LexisNexis to scale effectively.
