In an ever-growing world of data, the requirements for storage, memory and computing power is increasing exponentially. This growth is not just due to the data size itself; it has an even greater impact considering the number of data modifications coming with it. Hence, the architecture of the Audit Trail module has been transformed to the next level. With Product 360 10.1, Audit Trail data will no longer be stored in a resource-intense relational database but in a lightweight document storage leveraging Elasticsearch.

With this approach, the performance of production systems increases significantly while the hardware requirements shrink down. The following chart indicates key results of benchmark tests that have been performed to compare the last releases with activated Audit Trail to each other:

The following chart gives an overview on the revised architecture and reduced complexity when it comes to storing audit log data with Product 360:
