Case Study: Web Application Provider achieves secure, faster user data insights with Pythian

Pythian Hadoop Services Optimize Missioncritical User Data for a Global Web Application Provider

The Web Application Providing Company, a global provider serving millions of users, needed better ways to track user metrics and process mission-critical web logs in Hadoop. Their existing setup was slow, lacked a backup process, and they did not have enough in-house Hadoop expertise, so they turned to Pythian for help.

Pythian optimized, upgraded, and maintained the company’s Hadoop environment, improved recovery, and right-sized the clusters by reducing nodes from 30 to 20. As a result, aggregated data became available sooner, vital user data was secured, and hardware costs fell by one-third, delivering $100,000 in savings.
