Case Study: Supercell achieves real-time, scalable analytics with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Vertica Analytics Platform

Supercell Adopts HPE Vertica Analytics Platform

Supercell, the Helsinki-based mobile gaming company behind Clash of Clans and Hay Day, faced a fragmented, slow analytics stack that made A/B tests and reporting take hours and limited analysis to only months of data. To meet goals for speed, cloud capability, ETL and scalability, Supercell evaluated options and adopted the Vertica Analytics Platform from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise implemented Vertica with a 100 TB license and a cluster brought online in hours; Supercell now ingests about 3–4 TB/day, runs A/B queries in roughly 4 minutes (down from 2–3 hours), and can analyze lifetime player data rather than just months. The Vertica deployment also improved customer support through large-scale text mining, delivering faster, more reliable and scalable analytics for product and business decisions.
