Apache Kafka Implementation Team

AT
Group Manager at a media company with 201-500 employees

We deployed the solution On-premises because it is a Middle East client. That is where my admin experience in the last two years has been too much. So even if I move to the cloud, it'll be much easier because I have seen cluster implementation from scratch and how it is done. So I have been involved in the very first stage of working with Cloudera on the sizing and then working on the actual infrastructure networking team on the implementation, working with the network team on doing all the network structuring, then setting up the cluster ourselves. I have a team of around seventeen people who am I getting here. So yeah, from that perspective, it is there, but what we are implementing is Cloudera private cloud-based as a solution, which is a future-ready solution for the cloud. 

So once cloud services enter with least, especially Saudi Arabia, for example, the CPaaW as an Azure, our cluster will always be ready to be upgraded to the cloud because there's a private cloud-based solution on which we have the cluster. We can anytime add the cloud-native hosts and nodes onto our cluster. Also, at the same time, because it's a banking client, it has some restrictions in terms of geographies and all for the data to decide. The physical cluster provides a solution from the future AD perspective that once TCP, Azure, and AWS set up their data centers in Saudi Arabia, we can have some of our data nodes in the bank data center, plus we can have other sets of nodes or VMs in the cloud service provider's data center.

Our DevOps team in our IT department did the deployment of the solution. It was mostly virtual work. The maintenance of the solution does not take a lot of time.

Salvatore Campana - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO & Founder at XAUTOMATA TECHNOLOGY GmbH

Deployment was done in-house, but we're starting a collaboration with another company and we introduced this company to running this solution. Specifically, we started a collaboration with AWS to promote our platform in a Western marketplace. In this way, it's very easy to use our solution because it is a part of an AWS service, certificated by an engineer.

The recent proof of concept was done on behalf of a client by a system integrator. Similarly, the previous one was mainly done in-house and it utilized Confluent, Apache Kafka, and MSK. The process involved setting up pre-built capabilities.

In one case, we were using Kafka after it had already been set up, externally. It worked fine and we just had to configure some of the connectors that we wanted to try out.
