Case Study: a leading networking hardware company achieves sub-7-second IoT reporting with KPI Partners and Snowflake on AWS

Networking Hardware Company speeds Tableau reports from 20 minutes to under 7 seconds with KPI Partners

KPI Partners worked with a networking hardware company, a leading manufacturer with over $1.4 billion in annual revenue, to address a critical data reporting challenge. The client's IoT routers generated 80-90 GB of JSON data daily, but their existing Tableau reports querying a Hadoop/Hive data lake were taking over 20 minutes to load, which was unacceptable for their business teams requiring prompt analysis.

KPI Partners implemented a solution using Snowflake on AWS to complement the existing Hadoop Data Lake. This re-architected approach allowed their team to model and visualize the data in Tableau, dramatically improving performance. The vendor's solution increased report speeds from over 20 minutes to less than 7 seconds, enabling true speed-of-thought analysis and providing the business users with the near real-time capabilities needed to support growth and customer satisfaction goals.
