Case Study: NetQuest achieves massive-scale network intelligence with Ocient

Ocient and NetQuest Collect, Store, and Analyze Network Intelligence at Massive Scale

NetQuest, a provider of network monitoring solutions, faced the challenge of collecting and analyzing massive volumes of detailed network traffic metadata from Communication Service Provider networks. The exponential growth in data and the need for granular intelligence required a system capable of rapid ingest, storage, and analysis at a multi-petabyte scale. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor Ocient and its Hyperscale Data Warehouse platform.

The solution implemented by Ocient, integrated with NetQuest's OMX Streaming Network Sensor, enabled the real-time processing of trillions of records. Ocient's platform provided massively scalable storage and analysis, delivering query results 10x-100x faster than alternative systems while reducing the storage footprint by 80%. This joint solution could process up to 8 Tbps of network traffic per second, converting it into efficient metadata for analysis, which allowed operators to extract critical insights from weeks, months, or years of data in seconds.
