Case Study: Spirent achieves strong query performance and price advantage with OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica)

Spirent leverages Vertica (now OpenText) to keep user experience quality a winning factor for telcos

Spirent, a leading global provider of testing, assurance, analytics, and security solutions for telecoms, needed a database platform that could deliver strong user-experience quality and high-performance analytics at a better price point. The company chose OpenText Analytics Database (Vertica) for its price-performance fit, especially to support the embedded InTouch CNA solution.

OpenText helped Spirent migrate to its analytics database technology, which is being embedded into InTouch CNA. The solution delivered very strong query response performance through columnar lookups and projections, while also running on commodity hardware and benefiting from columnar compression, giving Spirent a meaningful cost advantage.
