Accelerating end-to-end cloud modernization with Wipro and Databricks

The challenges of expanding data needs

The digital revolution currently underway is driving huge growth in data volumes. According to IDC, the worldwide amount of data in 2020 was 44 zettabytes, and it’s estimated to reach 175 ZB in 2025, a 400% increase. As this growth takes place, organizations are increasing their investments in advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence to differentiate their products and customer experiences. Ensuring that these initiatives can help achieve business goals requires an infrastructure that can support the full range of budgetary, productivity, capacity, and innovation requirements.

For enterprises seeking to transition from a legacy Hadoop environment to a new platform, a migration to Databricks can allow them to transform their cloud operations and evolve their data engineering and data science capabilities. Yet the complexity of such an initiative requires an extensive process to ensure an accelerated migration and that risks are mitigated.

A comprehensive approach to a Databricks migration 

Designed to deliver an efficient path to cloud adoptions, Wipro Data Intelligence Suite (WDIS) is a set of AI/ML-infused accelerators that enable an automated, end-to-end Databricks migration journey. With its three-part approach, WDIS offers a fast-track process for migrating from Hadoop to a Databricks environment, leading to stronger and more scalable data workflows while helping organizations overcome the common migration challenges. 

Our approach

Key deliverables

Wipro offers a comprehensive approach to a Databricks migration, beginning with a client interview, followed by an infrastructure assessment, and culminating in a series of new benefits. 

Pre-workshop interview: Establish stakeholder alignment – Jointly with Databricks

• What is the current state of my Hadoop environment, including size, models, dependencies, complexities, etc.?
• What is the business value of migrating?
• How do I prioritize my workloads for migration and what should be the right approach to migrate them?
• How do I migrate models? Do I have to rebuild all of them?
• What compromises would I have to make to move to a cloud-native environment?
• How do I effectively govern and manage an enterprise-wide analytics platform?

Assessments

Through multiple workshop sessions with technical and business stakeholders, we map out the enterprise’s migration goals and get an understanding of the Hadoop environment and the future desired state. 

Process and outcomes

Our cloud migration experts conduct a full source to target architecture mapping with a focus on several key factors: 

• Easy vs. complex items
• Lift and shift vs. transformational approaches
• Prioritizing item migrations based on business impact and other factors
• Security and governance models 
• The integration needs of the surrounding tools and ecosystem, target state architecture, and workload migration 

Using our Wipro accelerators and extensive cloud expertise, our Databricks migrations deliver the following results: 

• 99% reduction of unplanned downtime
• Improved productivity by 30%
• 40% reduced cost of ownership
• Additional new revenue with new use
