THE GROWENS CASE
One and a half years. 300 Terabytes. All challenges overcome.
Our client faced a radical change, a challenging endeavor from which they aimed to emerge victorious, with reduced licensing costs and new processes that would allow automated management of infrastructure and pipelines. The metadata situation was critical, and there was an urgency to secure the database on the application side as well. The project also started with certain constraints: the desire to reuse as many application jobs as possible and to automate the deployment of ETL and Streaming Processes in Spark. In a year and a half, all objectives were achieved, resulting in a time saving of over 96% for security management and updates.

Miriade's Intervention: Benefits for Growens
In un anno e mezzo abbiamo analizzato il Data Lake e disegnato la nuova architettura cloud perché rispondesse a tutte le sue richieste, migrato 300 terabyte che erano on permise sulla nuova architettura. Tutte le richieste del cliente sono state rispettate e il progetto è stato consegnato nei tempi stabiliti.

The facts speak for themselves: the success of our clients.
Miriade has extensive experience in executing highly complex projects. For over 20 years, clients have chosen us for the quality of our technicians and our ability to tackle challenges alongside them. For this project, Miriade leveraged its partnership with AWS (Amazon Web Services). The project utilized AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), the Glue catalog (a metadata repository compatible with a Hive metastore), S3 (AWS's object storage service), Load Balancer, and Secrets Manager (a service that securely stores information).


«Miriade's support was extremely valuable, both in the architecture definition phase and its implementation. The consultants proved to be highly competent, collaborative, and sensitive to company issues. Activities were carried out in full collaboration with our staff, allowing us not only to efficiently execute the project but also to acquire new skills and the necessary know-how for infrastructure management.»

Miriade IT PERFECT FIT
Tailored architecture for every company
Balancing the need to contain costs while maintaining specific security and reliability requirements always poses a serious challenge. It could be obsolescence making the system more vulnerable or rigidity in data organization limiting and slowing accessibility. In these cases, the ideal solution lies not only in a different architectural model but also in the proposed method and project execution, as costs and results depend on these factors.
These aspects vary from company to company, as each has different data stratification, potentially diverse sources, specifically organized infrastructures, distinct objectives, and unique needs.
For this reason, at Miriade, we don't believe in replicable solutions. Thanks to the multidisciplinary skills of our technicians and the 120+ certifications we update annually, we create tailored solutions that comprehensively meet all client requests and align perfectly with their objectives.
