Challenge

Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) faced a significant challenge: isolated data systems hindering comprehensive analysis. Traditional data warehousing solutions had reached their limits, impeding the RTA’s ability to make informed decisions and optimize operations. To overcome these obstacles, the RTA sought a robust, scalable, and flexible big data platform.

Solution

MAGNOOS was selected as the strategic partner to deliver a transformative data management solution. By leveraging the power of Cloudera’s big data platform and the integration capabilities of Informatica’s Big Data Management tool, MAGNOOS engineered a comprehensive solution that addressed the RTA’s specific needs.

A Multi-Layered Big Data Lake for Enhanced Agility

At the core of the solution lies a meticulously designed Big Data Lake comprising three distinct layers:

• Raw Layer: Consolidating data from diverse source systems, establishing a foundation for subsequent processing.
• Active Layer: Transforming raw data into a structured format, ready for analysis and utilization.
• Curated Layer: Aggregating and refining data to meet specific business requirements, enabling the creation of insightful dashboards and reports.

This layered architecture ensures data accessibility, flexibility, and scalability, empowering the RTA to extract maximum value from its data assets.

Dynamic Integration Framework for Seamless Data Flow

To facilitate the smooth flow of data into the Big Data Lake, MAGNOOS implemented a dynamic integration framework powered by Informatica. This framework enables the seamless loading of any table from any source system, providing unparalleled flexibility and adaptability.

Prioritizing Traceability and Scalability

To ensure data integrity and compliance, MAGNOOS placed a strong emphasis on traceability. By meticulously documenting the data lineage, the RTA can easily track data transformations and identify potential issues. Additionally, the solution’s inherent scalability accommodates the RTA’s growing data volumes and evolving analytical needs.

Benefits and Outcomes
