Case study #1: ABB

Less than 20% of data generated by industrial companies is used and ABB's flagship digital solution wants to change that. ABB Ability Genix, launched in 2020, caters to multiple sectors, combining data-centric approaches with AI/ML and domain knowledge to deliver contextually rich data. It expands beyond sensors and devices to include engineering, design, and IT data, integrating them into the platform with pre-made adapters and ABB's domain knowledge.

Key objectives

  • Perform very fast time-series queries, both with hot and cold data.
  • Process different workloads with no impact on performance.
  • Detect real-time issues through window function aggregation.
 

Why CrateDB?

  • With horizontal scalability, ABB can adapt to every customer situation by adding as many nodes as needed.
  • Data Tiering (Warm/Hot/Cold) allows to optimize hardware costs
  • Multi-platform support to be deployed anywhere

Case study #2: Bitmovin

Bitmovin is a leading video streaming company that built the world’s first commercial adaptive streaming player and deployed the first software-defined encoding service that runs on any cloud platform. Its portfolio includes services for scalable video encoding, the Bitmovin Player for playing videos on all platforms and devices, and a complete end-to-end streaming solution with Bitmovin Streams. The company offers a product for monitoring and analyzing video streaming data, which is used by the biggest media companies around the world to deliver high-quality video experiences to end users.

Key objectives

  • Collection and analysis of huge and fast-moving data sets in real-time
  • Process extremely high data throughput in a cost-efficient manner
  • Easy to scale database with SQL as query language
  • Detect real-time issues through window function aggregation
  • Be able to process structured and semi-structured data (such as log files) in high quantities and at very high throughput speeds

Why CrateDB?

  • The data aggregation performance required by the video analytics component would not be possible with other comparable solutions
  • The capability of scaling the clusters of the database itself
  • Adaptation to peak loads with logical replication
  • On-Premise solution so that Bitmovin can manage their tech stack on their own
  • Ongoing support from CrateDB to optimally adjust the configuration of the cluster ahead of events with high data load requirements
  • No need for a complex architecture or advanced knowledge of SQL to get started.
