Case Study: Online Gaming Company achieves reliable, cost-saving MongoDB backups with Datavail

It’s Game Over for Lacking Data Access with Datavail’s New MongoDB Backup Solution

Online Gaming Company, which serves thousands of players who need reliable access to older games and versions, faced an unsupported and costly MongoDB backup solution that threatened data availability and operational budgets. Concerned about the expense of MongoDB’s Ops Manager/Cloud Manager and unwilling to rework application code while changing third‑party providers, the company engaged Datavail for a better backup and support approach.

Datavail implemented a customized MongoDB Backup Tool and provided ongoing MongoDB managed support services, delivering a single‑server backup process that produced backups 47% smaller than mongodump, enabled cold storage for older backups, and completed backups in under three hours on WiredTiger (7.5 hours on MMAPV1). Datavail’s solution freed senior IT resources, removed vendor lock‑in risk, lowered costs, and added 24x7 monitoring, patching, restore functions and compliance retention—ensuring the gaming company’s data is reliably protected.
