Achieve scalable and secure mobility intelligence with improved data accessibility
BOSTON, December 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Star explosionTrino, today announced that Arity, a mobility data analytics company, has significantly optimized its data infrastructure using Starburst Galaxy. This collaboration enabled Arity to achieve 10x faster data processing, reduce analysis costs by 66%, and double data accessibility for non-engineering teams, all while efficiently managing petabytes of control data in a unified data lake.
“With Starburst, we are now able to make data accessible across our organization while significantly reducing costs and processing time. Starburst’s SQL Platform lowers the barriers to accessing data insights, helping us operate more efficiently and securely,” said Reza Banikazemi, Director. system architecture at Arity.
Overcoming barriers to data scalability and accessibility
Arity, known for managing one of the world’s most comprehensive driving behavior datasets connected to insurance claims data, has encountered several challenges while expanding its operations. Their existing solution was becoming increasingly resource-intensive and expensive, putting a strain on budgets. Technical complexity created accessibility barriers, limiting data use to engineering teams and causing bottlenecks that restricted other departments. Additionally, analyzing large data sets could take 45 minutes or more, hindering critical time-sensitive applications such as mobility insights and real-time analytics. Additionally, Arity needed a secure and scalable data solution that complied with data privacy and compliance standards.
To overcome these challenges, Arity migrated to Starburst Galaxy, a fully managed data lake leveraging Trino. This change brought several significant benefits:
- Data querying speeds improved 10x, enabling efficient, real-time analytics for critical applications such as urban planning and road safety.
- Arity also achieved profitability, reducing data processing expenses by 66% and reallocating resources to explore new analytics opportunities, such as targeted advertising and usage-based insurance.
- Starburst’s intuitive SQL interface has democratized access to data, doubling the number of data users and enabling non-technical teams like sales engineering and professional services to analyze data independently.
- Additionally, Starburst’s Lakehouse architecture has enhanced security, ensuring that data remains within Arity’s Apache Iceberg environment and meets strict compliance standards while enabling secure and broad data accessibility.
“Moving to Starburst Galaxy has streamlined our processing and improved data governance and traceability. Starburst has allowed us to move from a complex data environment to a simpler, SQL-based approach that more of our teams can use effectively,” said Banikazemi.
Future plans: Starburst Galaxy expansion for advanced analytics and innovative insurance solutions
Arity plans to expand Starburst Galaxy integration to various business units. This expansion will enable more advanced real-time analytics, support the creation of targeted advertising audiences and facilitate the development of innovative insurance models based on driving behavior.
“With Starburst, we have reduced data processing costs by two-thirds and accelerated data access by 10x. Now we can get insights in minutes instead of hours, transforming our decision-making process “, Banikazemi said. He also highlighted improved data accessibility: “The SQL-based interface effectively doubled the number of data users, giving teams more power than just engineering. » Regarding scalability and security, Banikazemi noted: “Starburst allows us to keep data secure and compliant, expanding access without sacrificing security. »
“Arity’s success demonstrates the transformative potential of Starburst Galaxy for businesses processing massive data sets,” said Justin Borgmanco-founder and CEO of Starburst. “Our mission is to provide organizations with a powerful, scalable and secure analytics platform that accelerates insights and reduces costs. We are proud to support Arity as it continues to innovate and set new benchmarks in mobility analytics.
