DNS data is one of the most targeted layers of today’s internet. For Validin, an internet and threat intelligence platform that enables cybersecurity professionals, SecOps teams, and threat researchers to identify and track internet-based threats early and efficiently, reliable access to that data is a necessity.

Because data storage is at the core of Validin’s operations, their cloud provider needs to deliver superior price, performance, price-to-performance, and bandwidth on VM and bare metal instances. They also need effective disaster recovery capabilities and a forward-thinking cloud roadmap to support their own.

Validin has found all the above with Vultr, and they shared their success story in a new customer case study.

Validin uses a combination of Vultr Bare Metal, Cloud Compute, and File System storage to support data processing, aggregation, analytics, and database hosting. Their stack is centered around AMD EPYC™ 9354-powered servers on Vultr Bare Metal.

The results speak for themselves. By using Vultr instead of hyperscalers, Validin estimates cost savings of more than 80% on bandwidth and more than 85% on databases, totaling hundreds of thousands in annual savings.

And because of simple data sharing and dynamic scaling with Vultr File System, Validin moved multiple 50-100 TB databases off individual instances, achieving high redundancy while increasing the available history of their largest data source by more than 10 times.

With greater margins, lower overhead, and easier scaling, Validin can focus on its customers, building new features and further improving their satisfaction. Read Validin’s full customer case study to learn how they got there with Vultr.
