Case Study: SenseOn achieves scalable threat detection and storage efficiency with Altinity Support for ClickHouse

SenseOn saves 30% on storage with Altinity Support for ClickHouse

SenseOn, a cybersecurity SaaS company, faced a challenge when optimizing their ClickHouse sampling keys for scalability. A schema refinement, while improving sampling, unintentionally increased their storage usage by approximately 30%, pushing instances to the brink of running out of disk space and raising operational costs. They sought help from the vendor, Altinity, and its support services for ClickHouse.

Altinity provided timely diagnosis and step-by-step instructions to mitigate the issue. Their recommendations included testing different ZSTD compression algorithms and using system tables to ensure correct data ordering. This enabled SenseOn to achieve substantial disk savings without any noticeable performance penalties. The partnership with Altinity has helped SenseOn accelerate development, optimize operations, save engineers' time, and improve their customer experience.
