Modernizing Medicine is a maker of a specialty Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system named EMA that is going to revolutionize the way doctors practice medicine. Continuent Tungsten has allowed us to deploy clusters in the Amazon Cloud quickly, which is key for our rapidly growing company. In addition, Continuent Tungsten is a key component in allowing us to meet our uptime SLA. Perhaps the most important item is the support we receive from Continuent, which I am pleased to say, responds quickly and resolves all issues (including self-inflicted!), and accepts feedback for future enhancements.

Having tried traditional ETL tools and slow data-scraping techniques that put a heavy load on operational systems, we found that we were unable to meet the low latency required by our business as well as capture a complete record of transactions. Hadoop has clearly changed the landscape of data management by providing a central data backbone hub that receives data from across the enterprise business; however, there is now a wide range of services that need to move transaction OLTP data efficiently into Hadoop. With Tungsten Replicator we can quickly and flexibly move data out of operational databases into Hadoop where we run analytics that answer important business questions on timelines matching the needs of our users.
