BIG DATA CAN BE A BIG PAIN IN AN ON-PREMISES ENVIRONMENT

Business intelligence comes from advanced analytics delivered fast. Speed is a problem when

traditional data warehousing and on-premises infrastructure often take months to procure and deploy.

Consider the following challenges when evaluating a data-processing strategy that supports

business innovation:

Unpredictable costs and complexity

Supporting today’s data volumes and variety is … complicated. Managing different pay-as-you-go

pricing models while maintaining, backing up, and upgrading your systems and environments is

expensive and time-consuming. The promises of greater capacity and faster deployment make cloud

service providers (CSPs) attractive, but the “some assembly required” approach for integrating your IT

processes into a CSP ecosystem can be daunting. Why can’t service providers assemble everything?

Vulnerability

Despite the potential for big gains in agility and cost savings, security concerns prevent many

enterprises from moving big data-processing to the cloud. Supporting your enterprise’s security,

governance, and compliance standards as you move data to and from the cloud takes end-to-end

encryption—a secure “tunnel” between your enterprise’s datacenters and the cloud. The right

solution should let you monitor your cloud as if it were in your own datacenter.

Lack of expertise

When enterprise data warehouse appliances start running out of capacity, weeks can pass before

your team finds out about workloads slowing down analytic performance. And as many enterprises

know all too well, slow analytic performance endangers service-level agreements (SLAs). Effective

monitoring and provisioning requires specific expertise: someone—or something—that can find the

right combination of technology and infrastructure to support a specific SLA.

YOUR DATA INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE CLOUD CAN PLAY WELL

TOGETHER

Cazena is the first plug-and-play big data as a service (BDaaS) that is integrated into enterprise

infrastructure. As a fully managed service, Cazena integrates, automates, maintains, upgrades, and

supports many different technologies. Cazena users can:

Offload data warehousing workloads to the cloud

Avoid the large capital expenditures and long timelines that come with additional investments in

on-premises data warehousing. Instead, supplement existing systems with cloud-based data

warehousing to:

• Process analytic workloads at one-fifth the cost of traditional on-premises alternatives

• Eliminate capacity constraints and reverse performance deterioration while reducing data project

delivery times from months to minutes

• Consolidate datacenters to reduce your footprint and retire systems facing end-of-life or lack

of support

Put Cloudera-based Spark/Hadoop projects into production and scale up with ease

Many organizations successfully pilot Hadoop and Spark but find the new ecosystem complex and

specific maintenance skills in short supply. Cazena makes it easy to build on your early success with

Cloudera-based data lake as a service, which automates provisioning, monitoring, and upkeep so

you can seamlessly scale your growth.

Support data science

Fulfill the unique requirements of data science teams by provisioning secure, on-demand data

science “sandboxes” that enable teams to:

• Engage in rapid test-and-learn workflows at lower costs

• Collaborate more effectively

• Easily scale successful algorithms into production

Move data without sacrificing protection

Cazena starts with a foundation of security. After the Cazena Gateway is installed at your enterprise’s

datacenters, you can:

• Move your data through a secure, auto-encrypted tunnel to a single-tenant “datacloud” —a cloud

data processing environment where data is protected in motion and at rest

• Connect your enterprise’s tools through the gateway, securely managing and accessing data

without even knowing it’s in the cloud.

Stop managing technology and start accelerating innovation

One platform. One fee. Round-the-clock support. Cazena provides high-touch installation and all the

technology licenses your enterprise needs. Its Workload Intelligence solution:

• Benchmarks the most appropriate, cost-effective combinations of data technology and

infrastructure to support your SLAs, effectively automating selection and provisioning

• Monitors workloads so you don’t have to, recommending and implementing changes when

requirements shift or new engines become available
