CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Karmasphere™, a Big Data Analytics company, today announced that TidalTV, a video advertising, optimization and yield management solutions provider, is using Karmasphere Studio to manage and analyze millions of pieces of advertising data every day. Turning to Karmasphere, TidalTV was able to create a state-of the-art Big Data processing environment, wrangling massive data sets to deliver better service and more targeted advertising results to its customers.
TidalTV uses mathematical analysis to guarantee delivery of branded video messages to targeted demographics, maximizing monetization for Internet advertisers and video publishers. Since TidalTV’s founding, the company’s network volume has grown rapidly, reaching a rate of 20-40 million data “pings” every 24 hours, as Internet users view select videos. The company faced the challenge of collecting, aggregating, storing and analyzing this data to glean insights and track revenue against projected targets, and to generate and deliver reports back to advertisers and publishers.
TidalTV was reluctant to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading legacy database systems to accommodate this phenomenal growth. Instead, it looked to Amazon EC2 and Elastic MapReduce for cloud-based processing power and to Karmasphere for enhanced Hadoop-productivity. The resulting cost-effective combination helped TidalTV tame its ever-expanding data sets. Moreover, Karmasphere reduced the company’s Big Data learning curve with superior capabilities for monitoring Hadoop and creating MapReduce jobs, letting TidalTV quickly use Hadoop to gain insights.
Key Facts
- By turning to Hadoop and Karmasphere, TidalTV created a state-of the-art Big Data processing environment, quickly and cost-effectively
- Building on Amazon for cloud-based processing power and Karmasphere for enhanced Hadoop-productivity, TidalTV was able to wrangle massive data sets and deliver better service and more targeted advertising results to its customers
“Ability to manage the extensive sets of unstructured data created by our network is critical to our success as a company,” said Ron Stiffler, senior software engineer at TidalTV. “We plan to continue to use Hadoop and Karmasphere as we scale our business by 50-75% over the coming year.”

About Karmasphere Studio Professional Edition and Karmasphere Analyst
Until recently, Apache Hadoop and Hive software has only been available to advanced UNIX/Linux-based developers and analysts willing and able to set-up a Hadoop cluster and install Hive. Karmasphere removes this productivity roadblock and streamlines MapReduce programming and SQL prototyping. With Karmasphere, there is no initial requirement to set up a Hadoop cluster – Karmasphere lets developers and data engineers analyze Hadoop data with a graphical desktop environment from Windows, Mac or UNIX/Linux instead of hard-to-use command-line tools. When developers and analysts are ready to deploy to a real Hadoop cluster, Karmasphere lets them migrate to any distribution of Hadoop including Cloudera CDH and Amazon Elastic MapReduce with one click.
