Hadoop to Azure Databricks Launch Ramp 4-Week Assessment

On-premises Hadoop deployments have helped enterprises process varied data sets and get actionable intelligence from them. However, as companies continue to increase the scope of their digital transformation ambitions, they struggle with Hadoop’s system complexity, infrastructure scalability challenges and DevOps burden.

They need the ability to cost effectively scale, easily and quickly manage diverse data and enhance productivity of different teams to continue to deliver on their innovation agenda.

Cognizant's Hadoop to Azure Databricks Launch Ramp combines Azure Databricks’ capabilities in data engineering, data science, analytics and business intelligence with our our superior expertise in delivering enterprise analytics projects, to help your company leverage your data better and faster.

Set-up Your Foundation For Digital Transformation With Azure Databricks
Azure Databricks is the jointly-developed data and AI service from Databricks and Microsoft for data engineering, data science, analytics and machine learning. This means, apart from Databricks’ engineering and analytics capabilities, you get one-click setup, native integrations with other Azure services, interactive workspace, and enterprise-grade security to power all your Data & AI use-cases.

Jumpstart your journey to modernizing your analytics architecture
Migrating from on-premises Hadoop to Azure Databricks requires a comprehensive strategy and many organizations in the past have struggled with delays or failed data migrations and in ensuring proper data hygiene / governance. In the Launch Ramp Assessment, our experts analyze a number of variables to get you the best path forward and migration schedule, cost, and approach, delivered using our pre-built frameworks and tools to accelerate the process.

Benefits of modernizing your data architecture

• Differentiated Insights - Unified view of internal and 3rd party data along with the availability of all AI and ML frameworks, enable you to derive insights like never before and solve your most critical business problems
• Real-time Visibility - By creating a Delta Lake, you can have seamless pipelines for real time and batch data, enabling you to process large amounts of data in real time and at a granular level
• Spend less time ingesting, more time analyzing - Streamlined data ingestion coupled with 'time-travel’ capabilities reduces onboarding for custom causal datasets

Our Hadoop migration assessment process

• Questionnaire - Establish stakeholder alignment before the assessment process begins
• Assess - Interactive sessions with technical and business stakeholders to map out migration goals and get all necessary background on the current Hadoop background, including tech stack version, cluster types and utilization, compute / storage utilization, automated vs interactive workloads, and current jobs
• Define - Design a reference architecture and provide the solution approach, by leveraging Cognizant’s pre-built frameworks for data migration, ingestion and data lake platform

Final Assessment Deliverables

• Assessment of the current Hadoop workloads & patterns observed in client environment
• Technical delivery approach aligned to migration needs including reference architecture, use of Cognizant’s migration accelerators
• Bespoke Hadoop migration roadmap, recommendations and implementation plan

The assessment's price and duration indicated are an estimate, commercials to be agreed based on client requirements and deliverables.
