Case Study: Ciena achieves near-real-time replication of 100 million events a day with Striim

Ciena Replicates 100 Million Events a Day with Striim’s Powerful, Autonomous Data Pipelines

Ciena, a global networking systems and software company, needed to eliminate hours‑long batch processes and give teams near‑real‑time access to operational data for analytics and applications. To stream changes from multiple enterprise sources (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) into Snowflake, Ciena selected Striim as its data integration and streaming solution.

Striim implemented autonomous, low‑latency data pipelines with change data capture to replicate operational changes into Snowflake and other targets without disrupting business systems. The result: near‑real‑time visibility across sales, manufacturing, accounting and more—Striim moves up to 100 million events per day (Ciena estimates 40–90 million updates to Snowflake every 24 hours), removed data lag, and enabled faster, self‑serve analytics and rapid application builds.
