Solution	To address the challenge, Kingland Systems implemented the IBM PureApplication System and IBM PureData System for Analytics. The PureData System, designed and optimized specifically to run high-performance data workloads, is used to analyze customer data. It allows the company to run very large, complicated types of queries against the data very quickly, providing a much better platform for data scientists to answer questions about how and why this data exists. After an initial analysis, the data is taken through an augmentation stage, which involves cleansing and enhancing the data for more refined analytics. These augmentation applications run on the PureApplication System. Using Pure Application System and patterns, the company can spin up new instances of these applications extremely quickly.
