Case Study: Telecommunications Company achieves universal data access with Starburst Data

Telecommunications Giant Establishes Universal Data Access with Starburst Enterprise

The Telecommunications Company, a telecom giant with more than 20 million subscribers, was managing massive volumes of data spread across Hadoop, Teradata, Oracle, AWS, and other systems. This made it difficult for teams to run cross-platform analytics without building large ETL jobs or moving data between platforms. Starburst Data’s Starburst Enterprise, powered by Trino, was introduced to help solve this universal data access challenge.

With Starburst Data, the company deployed Starburst Enterprise as a federated query layer that lets users query data where it lives while supporting hybrid cloud migration. The solution eliminated much of the need for ETL, improved access for business intelligence users, and helped the company move away from expensive proprietary warehouses without disrupting end users. Measurable usage grew rapidly, from 2,000 queries per day in 2016 to 350,000 per day in 2019, while also improving performance and reducing labor and infrastructure costs.
