# Apply segmentation to your jobs

## Objective

[Segmentation](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-jobs-segmentation.md) will allow you to unleash the Data Processing Engine's power of scalability. When executed, your [actions](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/pt/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-dpe-actions.md) will be **split into multiple tasks**, each task will manage a smaller dataset.

:::info
With great power comes with great responsibility: segmentation options should be configured carefully. Depending on your segmentation choices, your action may be much faster... or much slower.
