Case Study: Fortune 50 Technology Company achieves hybrid and multi-cloud agility with Alluxio

Achieving Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Architecture With Application Portability

Fortune 50 Technology Company, a global tech leader serving over 1 billion users, needed a better way to bridge on-premises and public cloud data environments. Before using Alluxio, its Spark and Trino applications could not access S3 data directly through HDFS APIs, forcing the team to copy data between S3 and HDFS and creating high egress costs, slower time-to-insight, and barriers to hybrid and multi-cloud adoption.

Alluxio provided a data layer between storage and compute, enabling the company to access data in on-prem HDFS, object stores, and AWS S3 without changing applications. With a standalone on-premises Alluxio cluster, the company gained a unified interface for data access, reduced repeated S3 data fetching and egress costs, shortened time-to-insight, and achieved application portability across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
