Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Big Data Analytics Analytics & Modeling - Machine Learning Analytics & Modeling - Real Time Analytics Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Data Management Platforms
Applicable Industries	Electronics Telecommunications
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing Maintenance
Use Cases	Edge Computing & Edge Intelligence Machine Condition Monitoring Predictive Maintenance
Services	Data Science Services System Integration
Challenge	NetApp, a leading provider of hybrid cloud data services, needed to enhance its Active IQ solution to incorporate an AI-driven digital advisor. The goal was to use AI to gain intelligent insights into its customers’ storage controllers and deliver prescriptive guidance, as well as automate “best actions” to achieve predictive maintenance on said devices. The company was dealing with the challenge of analyzing 10 trillion data points per month from storage sensors worldwide. The existing infrastructure of Active IQ, built on Hadoop, was unable to cost-effectively enable real-time predictive AI, run large-scale analytics, or deploy new AI services at scale. The traditional data warehouse and Hadoop-based data lake were unable to efficiently process the trillions of data points collected from storage controllers at the speed required to derive actionable intelligence needed for real-time predictive maintenance.
