The 4C iNSight Big Data Hub, on Oracle's Exadata Database Machine, was successfully deployed through a leading East African mobile operator Vodacom, a company which boasts in excess of 10 million customers.
The iNSight Big Data Hub analyses millions of network data events on a daily basis. Data is extracted from various sources to support management information reporting, customer analytics, credit analytics, operational reporting and Business Intelligence. In addition to reporting and analytics, the iNSight Data Hub is a primary source of quality data for customer loyalty systems and customer value enhancement initiatives such as campaign management.
Combining data mediation, ETL, ODS, fraud investigations and revenue assurance in a single application, the iNSight Big Data Hub is, as it were, an information management application in a box.
Due to tremendous growth in data volumes and data requirements, our customer selected the Oracle Exadata Database Machine to support the iNSight Big Data Hub. The Oracle Exadata Database Machine is engineered to be the highest performing and most available platform for running the Oracle Database and features a scale-out architecture, accelerated query performance and unique columnar data compression.
The 4C Group, a Gold level member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN[a2]) worked with Oracle to supply, install and commission the Oracle Exadata Database Machine. The 4C Group also migrated the data and iNSight applications from the legacy infrastructure to the new Oracle Exadata Database Machine; with increased performance and reduced data storage requirements gained by the Oracle Exadata Database Machine compression features. As a result, significant space and processing gains have been achieved.
