Argyle Data vs BlueData comparison

Argyle Data has had the privilege of working with global leaders and visionaries on their strategies for revenue threat analytics, big data, and machine learning. What consistently comes up is that best-in-class carriers know the revenue threats that they have been attacked with in the past. What they don’t know is how to prepare for future attacks that will likely incorporate new types and methods of revenue threats.

What is critical to understand is that a) criminals are continually innovating; b) each subscriber will have many devices, many channels, and many potential attack points; and c) we need a better way to detect new fraud and protect customers and carriers in this new world – today in 2015, not in 2020.

This requires an effective strategy for the use of big data and machine learning in the areas of:

Fraud Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from various types of domestic fraud and roaming fraud

Profit Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from arbitrage, negative margin, high usage, and bill shock

SLA Threats

Analytics apps for identifying threats from network vulnerabilities and from roaming partners not meeting their SLA windows

Forensic Threats

Graph analysis application for analyzing 1st to 5th degrees of separation between data assets

The BlueData EPIC™ (Elastic Private Instant Clusters) software platform solves the infrastructure challenges and limitations that can slow down and stall Big Data deployments. With EPIC software, you can spin up Hadoop and Spark clusters – with the data and analytical tools that your data scientists need – in minutes rather than months.

Leveraging the power of containers, BlueData EPIC makes it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to deploy Big Data infrastructure and applications—including Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Cassandra, and more— whether on-premises or in the public cloud. Your data scientists and analysts can use the tools they prefer. You can run it with any shared storage environment, so you don’t have to move your data. And it delivers the enterprise-grade security and governance that your IT teams require.

With the BlueData EPIC software platform, you can provide a highly flexible and secure Big-Data-as-a-Service environment to enable faster time-to-insights and faster time-to-value – now available either on-premises or on AWS.
