Rakuten Inc.'s credit card business unit Rakuten Card Co. Ltd. is now using Cloudera, Inc.'s Cloudera Enterprise data hub to modernize its system and speed up data processing across its business, Cloudera said Dec. 12.
The new platform, backed by open-source cluster-computing framework Apache Spark, allows large-scale processing to support real-time streaming analytics, machine learning, predictive modeling and advanced analytics.
Rakuten Card's transition from its legacy system to the new platform has helped the company resolve performance issues that existed in the past, according to Cloudera.
