Telkomsel has selected Cloudera, a supplier of enterprise analytic data management, as its big data platform provider, to strengthen its broadband services.
Telkomsel, which has over 140 million subscribers in Indonesia, has seen increasing data volumes in its legacy data warehouse. Telkomsel earlier deployed Cloudera Enterprise to offload operations from the data warehouse for more cost-effective data processing.
The company is now implementing data discovery and analytics use cases on the Cloudera platform to gain customer insights that will support many users’ adoption of smartphones and broadband services.
“One of the first use cases we looked at was storing xDR data for longer data retention. With 100 percent data growth annually, Hadoop is the best option to offload the data from the EDW,” said Metra C Utama, vice president of IT Planning at Telkomsel. “We’re looking forward to the next phase of adoption of our Cloudera environment, which will drive new analytical insights.”
The company is running Cloudera in an on-premise environment, and is exploring the use of Hadoop components including Apache Hive, Apache Spark, and Impala. Telkomsel performs data ingestion using Apache Sqoop, Apache Flume, and Apache Kafka to move data from its sources to the EDW.
Amy O’Connor, big data evangelist and telecommunications subject matter expert at Cloudera, said: “Like so many other leading mobile operators around the globe, the data volumes that Telkomsel seeks to gather and process for better, faster decision-making are growing exponentially.”
