My name is Praveen Viswanath. I work as a co-founder and Chief Architect at Alpha Ori Technologies. Alpha Ori is in the business of transforming a multi trillion dollar industry, the maritime shipping industry from using disjointed legacy systems to using more modern smart digital enterprises.
Our software is currently installed on almost 260 ships. And in the time we have been operational, we have saved 137,000 metric tons of CO2, or about 44,000 metric tons of fuel.
A Digital Champion is someone who not just innovates, but innovates for the customer and for the organization, bringing practical change to the customer and the organization. Real time data is at the core of everything that Alpha Ori does, being able to handle it at scale is also the challenge.
We wanted to always move out of managing servers and setting up servers. We have a small team who have to manage several databases. And so when we were working on our new product, and we had the opportunity to look at a new database, we were trying to go away from all this time consuming activities for our team.
So we initially looked at managed offerings and we found either the cost or the offering itself was not as competent as what DataStax was providing. so we had a POC with DataStax and eventually realized that the amount of effort we required would be substantially reduced and also the cost benefit was substantial. Going in the Astra direction means that we only pay for what we use. We saw substantial savings, at least an order of 10 for opinion for many of our clusters.
