Proactively and holistically monitor platforms with the Ximna Data Operations Workbench
Data Operations Service Overview
We are witnessing changing enterprise data platform needs due to exponential growth in the size of data to be processed, the need for real-time data processing, data in various structures and formats, an amalgamation of traditional BI and big data systems. These phenomena demand a completely new enterprise platform which is scalable, dynamic, data formats agnostic, quick to deploy and extremely cost efficient for the build as well as operations. Ximna Data and Analytics caters to this need via a focused Data Operations offering. An automation and innovation-driven approach will bring radical improvement to the way platforms are designed, built and supported.
Ximna Data Operations enables building a NexGen platform that caters to various data formats (structured, semi-structured & unstructured), with the right set of tools and technologies while managing the platform efficiently with low cost of ownership.

Challenges & solutions
Lack of flexibility to choose services based on business demand in BI platform and extensive infrastructure costs
Hadoop as a Service (HaaS) provides option to customer to choose from various services including Infrastructure, Advisory, On-boarding, Run and Operate services, to enable faster time to Market, and less TCO, along with Engineering solutions and Automations implemented across the life cycle to cater to business need.
Lack of scalability of the Big data platform to meet business needs
A Pioneered and proven solution for scalability with minimal impact to business; Big data Platform Scale is achieved by implementing Engineering solutions in Platform expansion, Shrinks and upgrades with the aid of extreme automations in Platform monitoring and maintenance.
Inefficiency in managing technologically diverse Platforms with similar operating model, resulting in high resource costs.
Implemented Shared Services operating model with cross-skilled common teams, supporting multiple technologies and LoBs, which resulted in considerable reduction of resource cost, enhanced support coverage and improved SLAs.
