Business Challenge

Cloud migrations are famously complex but migrating 15 petabytes of data built on the Hadoop MapReduce engine and Hive Queries (HQL) is intimidatingthe creative tech giant and was facing this challenge. With thousands of users, petabytes of data, and millions of monthly job executions, the customers’ on-premises data centers ran out of capacity.

The Hadoop MapReduce engine, and Hive Queries (HQL). Historically, Hadoop was widely adopted for its ability to manage a variety of data structures, process large data volumes, and accommodate varied data processing scenarios. But, over the years, it became a burden that generated:

  • High licensing costs
  • Complex infrastructure management
  • Limited support & a lack of updates for analytical tools integration and real-time processing
  • Issues with data security and governance
  • Limitations in customer modeling and scoring, used for predictions of the long-term financial value of customers & optimizing their marketing campaigns.
