The team also wanted to eliminate problematic data siloing to optimize network efficiency.

Netezza to GCP

Solutions

  • Datametica started with detailed discovery and analysis of the existing NZ environment and their workloads with help from our automated assessment tool Eagle.
  • After analysis, integration of source systems with GCP was executed. Loading of one-time historical data for the Use Cases tables to Google Cloud Platform was performed.
  • Setting up a data pipeline for incremental data for in-scope use cases, up to BQ Stage / Transformation Layer; and loading of historical data to BQ Stage / TF Layer were also done.
  • Raven – Automated Workload Conversion Tool to reduce time for code conversion of the SQL/Script.
  • Pelican – Automated Data Validation Tool ensured 100 % accurate cell level validation between the source and target datasets in data quality testing. 

The Result

By migrating to Google Cloud Platform, the customer benefited from simpler platform management resources, reduced costs, and improved data security.

Having its platform hosted on a single location eliminated data siloing, simplified its IT architecture, and allowed the company to explore machine learning applications to further advance its analytics abilities.

Client Benefits:

  • 40% faster migration, with lower business risk.
  • 50% reduction in total costs and huge increase in performance
  • 100 % accurate cell level validation
