HPE powers an intelligent data lake with Scality — queries up to 1,000x faster across billions of files

about About HPE

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) wanted to improve its customer support experience with faster response times. To troubleshoot and resolve technical issues, the HPE support team accesses petabytes of telemetry data collected from tens of thousands of HPE storage systems installed at customer sites around the world.

 

HPE's antiquated, complex file-based storage system forced support reps to wade through mountains of telemetry data, making it impossible to keep response times high.

 

The intelligent data lake lets support engineers query data in under 2 seconds — up to 1,000x faster across billions of files — with a 52% increase on a data ingestion rate of 4 to 5 terabytes per day.

flag The Challenge

Mountains of telemetry data buried the answers support teams needed
HPE's antiquated, complex file-based storage system forced support reps to wade through mountains of telemetry data, making it impossible to keep response times high.

The traditional file-based storage system managing the petabytes of incoming data was antiquated and complex. To pinpoint the exact data that would solve a particular problem, customer support reps had to wade through mountains of information. It was simply becoming impossible to keep response times high.

RING's S3 compatibility also gives the engineering team a cloud-like experience. Advanced, intelligent toolsets enrich telemetry data as it's ingested by adding keywords and phrases to the metadata. This makes it possible for customer support analysts to find the data they need in just one click.

list The Results

Sub-2-second queries and predictive analytics that get ahead of issues

The result is a new intelligent data lake that gives customer support engineers the ability to query data in less than 2 seconds. They now enjoy:

  • Up to 1,000x faster query response times across billions of files
  • A 52% increase on a data ingestion rate of 4 to 5 terabytes of data per day
  • Predictive analytics that increase issue identification before customers even initiate the first contact with HPE
  • Easy, one-click access to complete data sets without complex query writing

This solution is revolutionizing our users' ability to do their jobs with speed and ease.
