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

Achieving Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Architecture With Application Portability

A Fortune 50 Technology Company partnered with Alluxio to modernize its data platform as it moved from an all-on-premises environment to a hybrid-cloud architecture. The company’s Spark, Trino, and Hive-based analytics and machine learning workloads could not directly access S3 data from on-premises systems, forcing the team to manually copy data between HDFS and cloud storage, which created delays, high S3 egress costs, and limited application portability.

Alluxio implemented a unified data layer spanning on-premises HDFS/object stores and AWS S3, with caching, namespace unification, and server-side API translation so applications could access data anywhere without reprogramming. As a result, the company reduced S3 egress costs, shortened time-to-insights, improved agility, and became multi-cloud ready with a more future-proof data architecture.
