An on-premises data warehouse for enterprise analytics

We designed and provisioned an Informatica and Cloudera Hadoop warehouse across more than 100 on-premises servers.

The client

Deloitte Middle East’s data and analytics practice needed an in-house platform for internal and external analytics and reporting.

The challenge

The platform had to run on premises and at enterprise scale, and it had to be rebuilt and extended without anyone hand-configuring hundreds of machines.

What we did

  • Designed and provisioned more than 100 on-premises Linux servers and 1,000 disks as the warehouse foundation.
  • Automated configuration management and environment deployment with Ansible.
  • Deployed Cloudera Data Platform for data engineering, warehousing and MLOps.
  • Installed and tuned the Informatica suite for data mapping and process workflows.

The result

A data warehouse that serves internal and external analytics and reporting, with environments rebuilt from code rather than by hand.

What the client said

  • “A demanding on-premises build, delivered with the discipline and documentation we would expect from our own teams.”
