Data Virtualization Implementation using Presto for a Leading Utility Firm

Overview: VerticalServe, a top consulting company, successfully implemented a data virtualization solution using Presto for a leading utility firm. The solution enabled the utility firm to query and analyze data from various sources in real-time, without the need for data movement or replication. This resulted in improved data accessibility, reduced data storage costs, and streamlined analytics processes.

Project Objectives:

• Enhance data accessibility across the organization.
• Minimize data storage and replication costs.
• Streamline analytics and reporting processes.
• Enable real-time data analysis across multiple sources.

Challenges:

• Integrating disparate data sources into a unified platform.
• Ensuring high query performance with low latency.
• Managing security and access control for data sources.
• Scaling the solution to handle large volumes of data and concurrent users.

Solution: VerticalServe employed the following strategies to address the challenges:

1. Presto Deployment and Configuration:

• Deployed Presto, an open-source, distributed SQL query engine, to enable real-time data virtualization across multiple sources.
• Configured Presto to optimize query performance and resource utilization.

2. Data Source Integration:

• Integrated various data sources, including relational databases, data warehouses, and NoSQL databases, into the Presto platform.
• Employed Presto connectors to enable seamless access to data from different sources.

3. Query Performance Optimization:

• Implemented cost-based query optimization to improve query performance and minimize resource usage.
• Utilized Presto’s parallel processing capabilities to enable efficient querying of large datasets.

4. Security and Access Control:

• Configured authentication and authorization using LDAP, Kerberos, or OAuth, based on the utility firm’s security requirements.
• Implemented role-based access control to ensure data security and compliance.

5. Scalability and High Availability:

• Deployed Presto on a scalable and fault-tolerant infrastructure to handle large volumes of data and concurrent users.
• Employed load balancing and automatic failover mechanisms to ensure high availability and minimize downtime.

Results: The data virtualization implementation using Presto has resulted in:

• Enhanced data accessibility across the organization, enabling real-time analysis of data from various sources.
• Reduced data storage and replication costs by minimizing the need for data movement.
• Streamlined analytics and reporting processes, improving the utility firm’s decision-making capabilities.
• Improved query performance and resource utilization.

Future Scope: VerticalServe will continue to support the leading utility firm in further enhancing their data virtualization solution, incorporating new features and technologies to improve performance, security, and scalability. The consulting company will also explore opportunities to integrate additional data sources, expand analytics capabilities, and optimize resource usage.
