Redis Enterprise Supports Turner Broadcasting’s Real-Time Analytics Platform

Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Real Time Analytics Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Exchange & Integration Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Database Management & Storage
Applicable Functions	Business Operation
Use Cases	Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services System Integration
Challenge	Prior to using Redis Enterprise, Turner Broadcasting began to encounter the same challenges that typically accompany an out-of-date database. As it looked to the future, Turner wanted to break up its media analytics into different microservices. Unfortunately, Turner’s original database wasn’t able to work within its desired framework; not only was the framework too complex, but also the database experienced high latency as it tried to handle spikes in traffic. Below are the challenges that led Turner Broadcasting to evaluate and ultimately select Redis Enterprise: Encountered the following challenges before choosing Redis Enterprise: High latency and slow response times from other databases Other databases only being able to handle limited volume and low throughput of data Other databases not being able to work within the microservices framework and are too complex for new application development Read More
About Customer	Turner Broadcasting System, the parent company of television networks CNN, TBS, TNT, TruTV, Inc., etc., is an American media conglomerate and purveyor of networks with a global audience. Its channels showcase news, entertainment, sports, animation and young adult multi-platform content and are some of the most valuable in the world. For its analytics, Turner faced complications with its previous database. Their microservices framework were too complex for new application development. Redis Enterprise heightens Turner Broadcasting’s real-time analytics; thanks to its high performance, Turner Broadcasting can ingest data without worrying about high latency. Read More
Solution	Turner Broadcasting made the decision to go with Redis Enterprise for its media analytics solution for a number of reasons, ranging from Redis’ greater data storage capacity to its enhanced performance. Firstly, there’s no such thing as a slow data ingest nowadays. High quantities of data often flow in short amounts of time. In order to help Turner’s media analytics platform run in real time, Redis delivers blazingingly fast performance with its native C, in-memory implementation and optimized data structures. This, in turn, enables the extremely fast ingest of data typically required for truly accurate analysis. Below, you’ll find the key features and functionalities of Redis Enterprise used by Turner Broadcasting: Uses Redis Enterprise for the following: Real-time analytics High-speed transactions Ingesting data quickly Using Redis Enterprise in the following types of solutions: Media Read More Log in to view content
