Storage for the Security Data Layer
Keep security data where it’s cheapest and most useful - store locally, retain mid-term, and scale to petabytes - then query and rehydrate with federated search across every Axoflow store.
Why Rethink Storage Now
Centralize less, decide smarter.
In multi-cloud and distributed environments, pushing every log to one sink is often impractical and costly; the future looks centrally defined but distributed + federated collection and analysis.
Decouple without replacing.
A decoupled SIEM approach - separating data handling from analytics - gives control and cost leverage while keeping your existing SIEM valuable.
Store where it lives.
Federated search lets you query across local storage, mid-term vaults, and the lake - without relocating everything first. (This is how you operationalize that distributed reality.)
The Axoflow Security Data Layer:
Pipeline | Storage | AI
Axoflow turns noisy security data into AI-ready, actionable data and keeps full context on tap—without replacing your SIEM.
‍
Tier, route by policy, and rehydrate only what you need into Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, or the tool of your choice. Let Axoflow Console manage this without you needing to babysit storage configurations.
The products
AxoRouter Storage (Temporal)
A durable replay window that lives on the host router.
- Smart buffer: absorb outages; replay precisely by time, label, or group.
- Debug on demand: capture verbose logs locally with TTL guardrails.
- Infrequent event parking: hold the long tail near source; pull back only when needed.
- Federated search: access all data stored in AxoRouter, AxoStore, or AxoLake from a single search console - no data shuffling required.
AxoStore (Axoflow-in-a-box)
A single-VM Axoflow appliance with a dedicated log store, you can purchase separately.
- Mid-term retention (30–180d) with policy automation.
- Optional HA: multi-machine replication, quorum writes, self-healing.
- The power of Axoflow: storage collection, curation and storage for local log collection and analysis.
AxoLake (Cloud)
Petabyte-scale storage with tiered storage, built on open formats like Apache Parquet and OCSF for maximum interoperability.
- Policy tiering from hot → cold to control cost
- Federated search spans AxoRouter, AxoStore, and AxoLake - query without centralizing everything
- Rehydrate on demand to Splunk, Elastic, Google SecOps, Sentinel, Snowflake, and more
What you can do with Axoflow Storage
- Prevent data loss during spikes and outages, then rehydrate exactly what’s needed
- Shift left for data quality so downstream AI/analytics stay fast and accurate
- Extend retention & control costs by keeping long-tail data out of SIEM ingest
- Run distributed or centralized - your architecture, your choice; federated search works either way.
How storage integrates into the Axoflow Platform
Pipeline — Collect & Curate
Auto-classify, parse, normalize, reduce, enrich, and route at carrier scale. Batteries-included; no babysitting.
Storage — Your way
- AxoRouter Storage: local temporal memory for replay, debug, and grouping.
- AxoStore: single-VM Axoflow appliance with a dedicated log store and optional HA.
- AxoLake: Cost-effective tiered (hot/cold) storage at petabyte scale for easy querying.
- Federated search unifies queries across all solutions - an operational take on decoupled SIEM + distributed storage.
AI — When and where you want
Bring your detection content to the data; run locally or centrally.
FAQs
Is Axoflow a SIEM?
No. Axoflow is a Security Data Layer that makes your SIEM/analytics faster and cheaper. A decoupled approach keeps your analytics where they are while giving you control over data quality, cost, and acces.No. Axoflow is a Security Data Layer that makes your SIEM/analytics faster and cheaper. A decoupled approach keeps your analytics where they are while giving you control over data quality, cost, and access.
Do I have to centralize data to search it?
No. Federated search means you can query distributed stores (AxoRouter, AxoStore, and AxoLake) and centralize only when it pays off - shifting away from storing “everything in one place.”
What data formats does AxoLake use?
AxoLake is built on open formats like Apache Parquet and OCSF.
Can I purchase AxoStore without the platform?
Yes. AxoStore is standalone and can be managed on its own or via Axoflow Console.
Do you support HA and immutability?
AxoStore offers optional HA via multi-machine replication. Compliance archive features (e.g., WORM/legal hold) are on the roadmap.
