“Weather is the original big data. However, weather changes, and so must IT,” commented Bryson Koehler, executive vice president and CIO, The Weather Company. “A massive data explosion is at the centre of our growth strategy. The Weather Company requires an architecture that is both flexible and reliable, allowing us to deliver higher accuracy through superior data. Basho has been a valuable partner in our transformation and Riak has proven to be a critical component as the NoSQL distributed database powering our new platform.”
Since joining The Weather Company in July 2012 as EVP and CIO, Bryson Koehler has renewed the company’s vision for technology and executed a global IT transformation to propel their business growth strategy.
The Weather Company deployed Riak across multiple Amazon Web Services (AWS) availability zones using Riak Enterprise’s Multi-Datacenter Replication for ultra high-availability. Riak is used to store a variety of data from satellites, radars, forecast models, users, and weather stations worldwide. The next-generation data services platform enables The Weather Company to expand its ability to serve superior professional weather services in major weather-influenced markets, including media, hospitality, insurance, energy, and retail.
“The Weather Company typifies the customer that Riak was designed for,” said Greg Collins, CEO of Basho Technologies. “Aligning data services with customer consumption requires a flexible, available, and operationally simple database architecture. Riak Enterprise solves these needs while also working with the The Weather Company to ensure it is able to scale to meet the demand of an increasing set of data points and be well positioned for future initiatives.”
