Case Study

Global Entertainments (GE) is an entertainment company established in 1995 which has grown into a
company with a turnover of £10million.  Its headquarters is in Slough, where the company was originally
founded.  There are also regional offices in London, New York and Singapore.   

GE maintains a centralised database in Slough which supports a number of transaction processing


systems. Recently the management team focussed its attention on improving the decision-making
capabilities of the organisation. In particular they wanted to provide regional managers with information
and insights into existing data to enable more efficient decision making.   At present, database (RDBMS)
is updated continually throughout the day.  For example, entertainment products (online film
streaming/DVDs) are constantly requested by the customers and the online transaction processing
system records and updates inventory records accordingly. 

During the sales/promotions phase, regional managers often need online analysis reports to monitor
sales performance in order to rectify actions for any deviations in performance. They also need timely
analysis reports to assist in making long-term decisions. Currently, a great deal of effort is spent on
collecting data from various systems before any analysis can be undertaken. Managers want and need
more information, but analysts can provide only minimal information at a high cost within the desired
timeframes. It is clear that in order to provide the necessary information more efficiently, there is a
need to move the IT infrastructure to a cloud environment and use big data for this purpose.  However,
there is a concern that this will cause some issues with security.  

You have been hired as a Big Data Cloud Engineer to migrate the company’s centralized database
(RDBMS) to Big Data in the Cloud and identify security vulnerabilities and potential security threats
caused by migrating the company’s data to cloud and big data environments. You should also suggest
ways of protecting the company from these dangers.
