Amazon Redshift

“A forecasting system like ours is a steady-state load; it runs all the time. That’s not a traditional cloud computing value proposition, but by running on AWS instead of on-premises, we’re saving almost $1 million per year on just one application. If I can get a win on a forecasting application that runs consistently 24/7, I believe that anyone can get a win on applications, especially those with spikes in demand.”

“We have terabytes of event data coming from our websites and applications to Amazon S3 and then to Amazon Redshift in near real-time. Redshift is at the core of our operations and used by our marketing automation tools. We can now run queries in half the time. Moving to Redshift’s DC2 node gave us a 52 percent performance gain, allowing us to reduce time-to-insight for our analytics and marketing automation users."

“Amazon Redshift allows us to aggregate and analyze data at scale to drive insights and predictive intelligence that power our clients marketing efforts. Amazon Redshift’s new DC2 node is giving us a 100 percent performance increase, allowing us to provide faster insights for our retailers, more cost effectively, to drive incremental revenue."
