Case Study: BAI Communications achieves long-term log analytics at 0.1% of legacy costs with ChaosSearch

BAI Communications stores a year of log data at 0.1% of the cost with ChaosSearch

BAI Communications, a global communications infrastructure provider, faced significant challenges in managing and analyzing massive volumes of long-term log data from its diverse wireless networks. The company needed a cost-effective solution to retain over a year's worth of data for compliance and performance analysis, as their previous methods were prohibitively expensive and limited them to only a few weeks of searchable data. They turned to the vendor ChaosSearch and its Cloud Data Platform to solve this problem.

ChaosSearch provided a solution by deploying its platform on top of BAI's existing Amazon S3 storage, activating it as a hot analytics environment without data movement. This implementation was completed in less than a day and allowed BAI's teams to perform deep log analysis, build Kibana dashboards, and conduct forensic investigations. The results were profound, with ChaosSearch delivering a 99.9% cost savings compared to other technology stacks and enabling the analytics on a full year of data instead of just weeks.
