Real-time data platforms for telecoms and media
Telecoms and media companies generate data at a scale few others match, from network events and usage records to subscriber and viewing data. Digitalis designs, builds and runs high-throughput data platforms on Apache Kafka, Apache Cassandra and ClickHouse that turn that flow into real-time insight, with 24×7 support.
Telecoms and media data never stops arriving
- Continuous high volume. Network events, usage records and logs arrive every second, all day.
- Real-time expectations. Fraud detection, network monitoring and personalisation need data in seconds.
- Subscriber data at scale. Millions of profiles must be available instantly and protected properly.
- Cost pressure. Storing and processing everything gets expensive unless it is designed for efficiency.

- ClickHouse runs fast analytics over billions of events.
- Elasticsearch and OpenSearch power search and log analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Can Kafka handle telecoms-scale event volumes?
Kafka is designed for very high-throughput, durable event streaming and scales out by adding brokers and partitions.
Why ClickHouse for analytics?
ClickHouse is a columnar database built for fast aggregations over very large datasets, which suits usage, network and audience analytics.
How do you keep storage costs down?
By setting retention per data type, tiering older data to cheaper storage and right-sizing clusters to real load. See our platform cost review.
Can you work with our existing platforms?
We support, tune and extend existing platforms as well as building new ones.
Do you provide 24×7 support?
