Case Study: Global Credit Card Company achieves near-real-time analytics for 10,000 Tableau users with Kognitio

Global credit card Company - Customer Case Study

Global credit card Company, the world’s largest payment card issuer and corporate charge card provider, needed a way to let up to 10,000 Tableau users analyze billions of transactions stored in a nine-petabyte Hadoop environment. The challenge was supporting hundreds of concurrent users and highly complex queries with near-real-time performance, something standard Hadoop SQL tools could not deliver.

Kognitio implemented an ultra-high-performance, in-memory SQL query engine between Hadoop and Tableau, accelerating access to 12 billion transactions directly from HDFS. By using Kognitio, Global credit card Company delivered market-leading analytics with near-real-time responsiveness for its corporate clients, avoiding the need for impractical data extracts and enabling scalable, reliable enterprise reporting.
