Pepperdata Helps Fortune 100 Financial Services Giant Gain Control Over Their Runaway Data Infrastructure Spend

Fortune 100 Financial Services Giant, a leading multinational investment bank and financial services corporation, was seeing explosive growth in its on-prem/private cloud Hadoop and Spark analytics platform. As data ingestion and compute demands doubled year over year, the company needed a way to control runaway infrastructure spend while maintaining performance and meeting business-critical SLAs. Pepperdata, using Capacity Optimizer and Application Spotlight, was brought in to help address the challenge.

Pepperdata delivered real-time visibility into resource utilization, recaptured wasted capacity, and helped maximize the use of existing infrastructure. The result was nearly 30% lower infrastructure spend and improved server utilization equivalent to hundreds of nodes, reducing the need for additional hardware while maintaining consistent, predictable performance as the environment scaled.
