TOKYO, Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudera, Inc.
(NYSE: CLDR), the modern platform for machine learning and
analytics, optimized for the cloud, announced that Rakuten Card
Co., Ltd, one of the leading credit card companies in Japan, is using Cloudera Enterprise to scale
with their growth, making more data available to their business
faster to evolve and expand the business. By transitioning to a
modern platform boosted by Apache Spark, Rakuten Card is now able
to process data at more than twice the speed of the legacy system,
making the highly stable operation of the core system possible.
With strong membership growth and an ever-increasing number of
transactions, Rakuten Card needed to speed up the processing power
of its mission-critical system to keep pace with business demand.
Rakuten Card fully migrated from its legacy system to a modern
platform with Cloudera's solutions. The move enables
high-performance, large-scale processing to support a variety of
use cases, such as real-time streaming analytics, machine learning,
predictive modeling, and advanced analytics.
The transition from legacy mainframe to the new platform has
helped the Rakuten Card team to address and resolve performance
issues that were previously a cause of concern. By leveraging the
suite of operation and management tools available through Cloudera
Manager, coupled with the expertise and advice from Cloudera's
support team of skilled engineers, Rakuten Card has been able to
achieve optimum application performance. The ability to support a
variety of use cases with a unified, modern platform has
significantly reduced time spent on maintenance and management,
allowing the Rakuten team more time to focus on growing strategic
areas of the business.
"For eight consecutive years, Rakuten Card has captured the
number one position in the credit card category of the Japanese
Customer Satisfaction Index.* We aim to become Japan's number one credit card company by
2020," said Yosuke Nakagawa, Vice
Department Manager of the System Development Department at Rakuten
Card. "To achieve this goal, we needed to transition from using a
mainframe architecture to a modern, flexible, scalable platform.
Cloudera Enterprise easily exceeded all of our engineering
requirements and solved the performance problems of our previous
system. Cloudera's enterprise-grade operations and management
capabilities made it possible to meet our strict implementation
deadlines and continue to facilitate our business growth while
maximizing the performance of our application."
"As big data technologies evolve, machine learning and data
analytics are becoming an intrinsic part of operations for global
enterprise businesses and our partners," said Mark Micallef, vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan at Cloudera. "Cloudera is working with
Rakuten Card to help them scale their growth, take action on their
data faster, and address multiple strategic objectives across all
their data -- on-premises and in the cloud."
