Project Overview

Our client's journey of transforming their data analytics platform, addressing key challenges, implementing advanced technologies, and achieving measurable business impacts. Migration of a large-scale Teradata data warehouse, with 5 petabytes (PB) of data and 200,000 database objects, from an on-premises environment to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Business Impacts

Migration Approach

Handling Huge Teradata Objects

Migrating large Teradata objects required a meticulous approach to ensure data integrity and performance. We implemented a phased migration strategy to handle the complex data structures and minimize disruptions using our code converter tool.

ETL Migration

Transitioning from DataStage jobs to a more modern ETL solution was essential. We re-engineered the ETL workflows to leverage Google Cloud Data Fusion, Dataflow, dataproc and airflow, ensuring efficient data processing and transformation.

Data Reconciliation

To address discrepancies and ensure data accuracy, we performed comprehensive data reconciliation. This involved validating migrated data against source systems to confirm consistency and reliability. developed 20+ dashboard to monitor data reliability.

Consumer-Driven Migration

Our migration strategy was designed with a focus on the end user's needs. We implemented a data hub approach to streamline data consumption and provide users with timely and accurate insights.

Results

By leveraging modern cloud infrastructure and advanced analytics platforms, the client was able to significantly improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance their data-driven decision-making capabilities.
