Challenge: Implement data analytics platform to measure data-driven digital advertising campaigns in a scalable, flexible, and easy-to-administer architecture.
Results:
- Cost-effective cloud implementation for easy capacity planning
- Lean Vertica management and administration with self-service capability
- SQL Interface and Hadoop file format support for seamless integration

"We now have an additional Vertica cluster in Eon mode. We have the compute power when we need it but won’t pay for it when it’s not being used, as it’s independent of the shared storage capacity. Eon Mode gives us exactly the flexibility we look for, and the set-up naturally complements our development stack."
