Use case 1: Adeo

European retail company uses Aiven as a unified open source platform for data analytics and more Aiven’s customer is a large European retail company serving more than 450 million customers in 15 countries in more than 700 brick-and-mortar stores. They use the massive amounts of data that they collect and store for their supply chain and inventory management, and relations with service providers and customers. These are the traditional use cases for retail companies and can be accomplished with siloed databases.

However, this company has taken the further step of adding real-time, comprehensive data analytics into the mix in order to understand and predict customer purchasing behaviour.

To implement data analytics, the company connected all their applications to Aiven’s cloud platform in a centralized, interconnected way to remove data siloes. Once they started operating in the cloud, they realized a hosted, managed cloud database was an excellent way to deliver database services to their local branches very quickly. Their entire transformation was completed within a single quarter. Today, this company runs hundreds of Aiven services, including Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis and MySQL, connecting business units, stores and headquarters across Europe. This is possible because Aiven is cloud-agnostic and open source. All cloud providers are not available in all regions, but with Aiven the company can deploy to a different one with a single click. And because the services are open source, they avoid being locked in with a single vendor.

The company has also been very satisfied with Aiven’s personal service and 99.99% uptime. With Aiven, this retail company moved from a siloed, time-segmented, on-premise setup to a centrally-managed, real-time, extremely flexible cloud model, and as a result they can implement advanced data analytics on a massive scale.

Use case 2: GoTo Financial

APAC fintech company provides financial services on a massive scale with Aiven for Apache Kafka. An Indonesian company providing payment and other financial services consolidated their siloed data pipelines into Aiven for Apache Kafka. They process millions of transactions everyday, so their throughput needs are enormous, and since the services are accessed at the point of purchase their reliability needs to be top-notch.

The company moved from having separate Apache Kafka instances for each product and function to Aiven’s data platform that offers easy scalability and 99.99% uptime. The process of moving was a significant effort, involving duplicating all data and systems across clouds and then moving the user actions to their new setup.

With Aiven, the company was able to manage this with a reasonable amount of effort and hardly had to resort to Aiven’s technical support. Their current system offers the end customers a unified experience and full up to date transparency into their transactions and account status. The data is consumed from Kafka also by the company’s product platform, giving access to clean, centralized reporting and business intelligence as well as high-quality customer service. They can also differentiate access to Kafka for developers depending on their tasks. The company now has much fewer services and less infrastructure to take care of themselves, and it can all be centrally managed. At the same time they get better visibility into their business data, and end customers have a better user experience.

Use case 1

A large government agency with DB2 data warehouses, leveraging Change Data Capture (CDC) tools such as Qliq Replicate and IBM InfoSphere Data Replication (IIDR), saw it important to integrate with Confluent for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons include:

• Event-driven data integration: By using CDC tools and Confluent, government agencies can capture and replicate data changes as they happen. This provides a near real-time view of data across different databases, systems, and microservices. This enables agencies to make faster and more informed decisions.
• Improved data accuracy and consistency: CDC tools can help ensure data consistency across multiple databases and systems. This is especially important for government agencies where data accuracy and consistency are critical for effective decision-making.
• Streamlined data integration: Confluent allows government agencies to easily stream data to various destinations, simplifying the process of integrating data across different systems and microservices.
• Enhanced data security: CDC tools and Confluent can help ensure the security of data in transit by encrypting data and providing secure connectivity options.

By leveraging CDC tools and Confluent, government agencies can address a number of existing problems. For example, siloed data is a common problem in government agencies, which can lead to inefficiencies, redundancies, and errors. By integrating data from different systems and databases, agencies can unlock valuable insights that were previously inaccessible.

Another problem that can be addressed is the lack of real-time data access. Government agencies often rely on batch processing to extract and integrate data from different sources, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. By using CDC tools and Confluent, agencies can capture and replicate data changes in real-time, providing a near real-time view of data across different databases, systems, and microservices.

Government agencies that have implemented the above solution reported increased data accuracy, reduced data latency, improved data consistency, and better data security. The time taken to integrate data across different systems and databases before and after implementing CDC tools and Confluent was also significantly reduced. Ultimately, the government agency gained the ability to make more informed decisions based on timely and accurate data.

Use case 1: Cosmetics powerhouse AmorePacific finds beauty in Druva over Veeam

Empowered by Druva, cosmetics giant AmorePacific left behind its legacy data protection and embraced a cloud-first strategy, ultimately saving time and overall costs. Druva’s reduced expenses and complexities cut the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the firm’s backup and DR services by up to 30 percent. The enterprise also did away with all capex costs for backups and DR by eliminating the second facility and its duplicate storage systems. Moreover, AmorePacific accelerated full back up by 60 percent over its prior Veeam solution and sped up and simplified restores.

“I save an average of over 30-man hours every month now that we’ve moved away from Veeam’s complex workflow and consolidated our data centers,” said Wai Chung, IT backup administrator at AmorePacific's Hong Kong headquarters. “Thanks to Druva’s source-side deduplication, we also reduced the volume of data to be backed up by over 50 percent. Compared to our Veeam solution, this very much lessens both the storage capacity and bandwidth needed to safeguard our data.

Based on our results, Druva’s backup technology is truly revolutionary. With its speed, scalability, and TCO savings, we now make decisions based on our business objectives rather than the restrictions of our legacy backup solution.”

Use case 2: How Druva safeguarded over 80 TB of critical research data in the cloud

The Queensland Brain Institute is an Australian neuroscience research institute located in Brisbane at the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland. The Queensland Brain Institute’s researchers work to understand the development, organisation and function of the brain. Collaboration with clinicians and commercial partners to develop new therapeutic approaches for brain diseases generates terabytes of data.

With most researchers having several hundred gigabytes of critical data on their machines and the need to facilitate global collaboration, an increasing issue the institute needed to solve was data availability and backup reliability at the endpoint. The team discovered Druva and quickly saw the benefits of cloud-based data protection for endpoints. 

“Having a fully automated data protection solution was a night-and-day improvement. Implementation of Druva inSync was straightforward, and we quickly saw trust established between the researchers and Druva. The platform gave them confidence that if anything happens to their device or data, it can be quickly restored,” said Perry Kollmorgen, IT manager.
