Intuit Inc. is an American business software company specializing in financial software.
Intuit uses DataStax Enterprise Cassandra as the high-performance, scalable data storage behind a number of its SaaS products, including TurboTax and QuickBooks Self-Employed. Those are seasonal, high-stakes systems — an operating system migration is not something you schedule casually against them.
DataStax brought RhinoSource into Intuit to provide zero-downtime o/s migration and DSE upgrade assistance. RhinoSource analyzed the DataStax Cassandra environment thoroughly, then reviewed, improved and assisted with the execution of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux migration and DataStax software upgrade plan.
RhinoSource also investigated the cluster data imbalance problems Intuit was experiencing, and assisted the cluster ops team with failed node replacement procedures.
We reviewed the QuickBooks SE schema design, implementation plan and DevOps process, made recommendations to improve performance, scalability and reliability, and helped identify DSE Spark Analytics use cases.
