Case Study: Network-Based Service Providers achieve petabyte-scale, real-time machine-data analytics with Cloudera

Machine-Generated Data Creating New Opportunities for Utilities Mobile Broadcast Networks

Cloudera worked with network-based service providers—utilities, mobile operators and broadcast networks—that were struggling to manage exploding volumes of machine-generated data. Traditional monthly meter reads and OLAP on RDBMS could not keep up with the volume, velocity and variety of time-series and event data, creating I/O bottlenecks, high storage costs, delayed insights, inaccurate billing and limited customer visibility.

By deploying Cloudera Enterprise (Apache Hadoop, HBase, Hive, Sqoop) these organizations gained cost‑effective, linearly scalable petabyte storage, near‑real‑time ingestion and schema‑on‑read flexibility. The platform cut analysis time from hours to minutes, enabled deeper, more reliable analytics and 360° views of customer usage, improving billing accuracy, proactive support and product decision-making.
