Case Study: ZeniMax Media achieves a single view of data and faster game launches with Hitachi Vantara's Pentaho Data Integration

ZeniMax Creates Single View of Data With Pentaho

ZeniMax Media, a creator and publisher of video games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices, faced a challenge of massive, siloed data—up to 5 TB per day across MySQL, Postgres, JSON, XML and text—that prevented a consolidated view needed to support rapid game development and sustained player engagement. To address this, ZeniMax turned to Hitachi Vantara and its Pentaho Data Integration solution to unify and standardize disparate data sources into a single, usable view.

Hitachi Vantara’s Pentaho Data Integration provided the performance and framework to consolidate raw data into a unified warehouse, automating processes that had been manual or handled with Python scripts. As a result, analysts now spend their time studying gamer behavior instead of loading data, and time-to-market for new products has fallen from months to weeks.
