Different Challenges for Different Clients The B2C Challenge • Previously using expensive RDBMS systems to deliver B2C marketing contests and product giveaways. Up to 150 in a year. • Huge spikes in web event data posed challenges. 200,000 hits in first minute for popular brands’ campaigns. • Cost to license for biggest spike made projects unprofitable. • Also needed to monitor and manipulate massive amounts of data in real time. RDBMS could not respond adequately during massive data intake during campaign run. “When has a campaign reached its limit? Has total supply of product been allocated?”

Different Challenges for Different Clients The CRM Challenge • Another project for a large client involved managing a repository of customer data from multiple sources. The magnitude was vast, data was multi-structured and new sources were being added on a regular basis. • Initially executed using 4 relational databases, query times slowed and costs soared. • Difficulty merging unstructured data from multiple sources using traditional RDBMS. • Deployment of prominent SQL RDBMS estimated @ $5 million cost (approx. 150 terabyte).
