Case Study: Leading Global Solutions Provider achieves year-long, near-real-time cybersecurity analytics and major cost savings with SQream DB (SQream)

Deeper historical analytics with SQream DB

Leading Global Solutions Provider, a 25,000‑employee market leader in communications and media cybersecurity, faced extremely slow HP ArcSight (SIEM) analytics that limited data retention to a few weeks and prevented near‑real‑time response and deep historical searches. They turned to SQream to improve scale, speed and retention using SQream DB.

SQream implemented SQream DB as a GPU‑powered speed layer (including a custom HP ArcSight CEF connector), deployed on a single 2U server (40 TB raw) and supplied a specialized visualization tool. The solution ingests tens of billions of records per day and lets the customer query live and historical data—trillions of events over a year—in seconds versus minutes, delivering roughly 10× faster queries, extending analysis windows from weeks to 6–12 months, avoiding expensive hardware (saving hundreds of thousands of dollars) and enabling near‑real‑time anomaly detection and improved detection accuracy.
