Case Study: CSX achieves seamless mission-critical operations modernization with MongoDB Atlas

CSX completes MongoDB Atlas migration in just hours

CSX, a major railroad transportation company in the United States, faced the challenge of migrating its mission-critical Railroad Transportation Operations Portal (RTOP) from an on-premises system to MongoDB Atlas on Azure without causing disruption to its 24/7 operations. The company partnered with vendor MongoDB and utilized MongoDB Professional Services to ensure a seamless transition for this platform that provides near real-time visibility into train operations.

The solution was implemented using MongoDB's Cluster-to-cluster Sync (mongosync) tool, which facilitated continuous data synchronization and enabled the large migration to be completed in just hours. As a result, the RTOP platform on MongoDB Atlas became more scalable and easier to maintain, providing improved system reliability and performance. This successful migration established a proven blueprint for CSX to modernize other applications within its infrastructure.
