Case Study: Agility PR Solutions reduces big-data operational costs by 70% and streamlines real-time media monitoring with Cloudera

Agility PR Big data platform amplifying media coverage in real-time and in front of the people that matter

Agility PR Solutions, which provides media monitoring and intelligence for PR professionals, faced rapid growth in news and social media data that exceeded the limits of its MySQL-based architecture. Because customers query and retain large volumes of data for complex, periodic searches, Agility needed a scalable, resilient platform that could handle high ingestion rates, long-term storage, and fast processing.

Agility partnered with Cloudera, adopting Cloudera Manager and the Cloudera Data Platform (including HDFS NameNode HA and CDP features) and used Cloudera Professional Services to design its cluster. The result was a hybrid, cloud-ready architecture that cut big data operational costs by 70%, simplified setup and maintenance, improved stability and performance, and eliminated the need for a dedicated in-house cluster administrator.
