The Challenge
The business challenges that led the profiled company to evaluate and ultimately select Redis Enterprise included high latency and slow response times from other databases. The company needed to scale to multiple locations and serve more pieces of their applications faster, but their current database had too slow of response times and high latency issues. This was particularly problematic as their user base was growing, and they needed a solution that could handle increased application usage and user count efficiently.
About The Customer
This Fortune 500 company is a provider of multimodal transportation services and third-party logistics, striving to refine their customer’s supply chain processes. As one of the world’s largest third-party logistics providers, the company offers a broad portfolio of logistics services, fresh produce sourcing, and Managed Services through a growing global network. The company faced challenges with their existing database solutions, which were unable to keep up with the growing user base and the need for faster response times and lower latency. To address these issues, they turned to Redis Enterprise for its high availability and performance capabilities.
The Solution
The company chose Redis Enterprise to address their challenges with high latency and slow response times. Redis Enterprise was selected for its high availability features, including persistence, auto-failover, and cross-zone/multiregion/multi-datacenter in-memory replication. The company uses Redis Enterprise for high-speed transactions, user session stores, and scalability tier/content caching. They have a 100 – 500 GB dataset in Redis Enterprise and have increased their usage of the platform to handle growing application usage and user count. Redis Enterprise is used in their IoT and ECommerce solutions, as well as for targeting/personalization.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
