Cloud Migration for Enterprise Data Analytics

This white paper outlines Intel IT's initiative to migrate enterprise data analytics to the cloud, addressing systemic challenges in data and analytics across the organization. The project aims to create a highly efficient and high-performing data platform, essential for supporting Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy and expanding its foundry services. The new cloud-based platform utilizes Databricks and a cloud data warehouse, featuring sandbox capabilities, reusable data ingestion templates, and streamlined AI workflows. The migration has led to significant improvements, including a 65% reduction in ETL process time and a 58% decrease in job failures. The document details the business challenges faced by Intel's business units, such as the need for a connected data view and faster data availability. It also presents the solution architecture and the migration timeline, emphasizing the importance of a unified platform to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making across Intel's various business units.
