Understanding the Importance of Good and Safe Driving with MyDrive and DataStax Enterprise

MyDrive, an Insurance Telematics company, uses DataStax Enterprise (DSE) for its data analysis services to motor insurers. The company collects sensor data from smartphones or telematics hardware, processes and analyzes it to score drivers' performance and help insurers assess risk. Before using DSE, MyDrive used MongoDB but switched to Apache Cassandra due to increased data volumes and then migrated to DataStax Enterprise for its tested set of compatible components and reduced operational overhead. The company primarily stores time-series data in DSE and uses OpsCenter, Spark, and plans to explore DSE Graph. MyDrive advises startups considering DSE to focus on their product by leveraging the ease of use and reduced operational headaches provided by DSE.
