About The Customer
GoodData is a cloud-based Business Intelligence (BI) tool provider that helps global companies monetize big data. Their end-to-end data ingest tool, CloudConnect, is built on top of the CloverETL platform. It enables users to design data models and transform the input data according to them. By using CloudConnect, users are able to extract-transform-load multiple data sources, no matter if they are stored in SaaS applications or in local databases. The company is based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California.
The Challenge
GoodData, a cloud-based BI tool provider, was looking for a best-of-breed technology to build their CloudConnect platform. They needed a solution that would allow them to access data and get it into their platform efficiently. The company was previously using a REST API-based platform, which worked well for developers familiar with these processes or who had integration technologies in-house. However, this system was not user-friendly for a larger customer base. GoodData needed a solution that would allow anyone to design integrations and do data modeling work visually.
The Solution
GoodData selected CloverETL as the foundation to build their CloudConnect platform. Embedding CloverETL enabled GoodData to take the enormous domain knowledge and engineering effort around ETL and build their proprietary needs on top of it. This allowed them to support their partners and customers and dramatically shorten the time to market. With CloudConnect, consultants can design these processes visually and quickly, while leveraging technology and methodology with which they’re familiar. Now, with CloudConnect, anyone who has GoodData can use the visual tool to design integrations. They can do data modeling work visually, upload that to the cloud platform, and run those seamlessly, as GoodData operates those on an on-going basis for them.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
