Palantir Foundry Services

Enable and Accelerate

Goal: Increase your internal proficiency level of Foundry adoption with dedicated coaching and training by Unit8.  Advance your platform adoption and maturity through the deployment of ready-to-use packaged solutions and accelerators.

What do we do:

• Acceleration
  • Bring our ready-to-use Data Assets Management accelerator to speed-up the initial stages and avoid wasting time on repetitive tasks
  • Tasks such as measurement of data quality, monitoring the tool’s performance or providing foundations to the data model come pre-packaged in our accelerator
• Enablement
  • Guide early adopters through the initial stages of platform usage and enable young teams
  • Coaching and training on best practises including: perform code reviews, design data ontology, create naming conventions, design security policies, apply best practices for pipeline scheduling

• PLATFORM PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION
• ANALYTICS CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
• FOUNDRY PLATFORM ONBOARDING

Operate

Goal: Streamline operations of your platform with professional support from Unit8. Leverage proven operating procedures, automations and deep knowledge of the Palantir products.

What do we do:

• Operational maintenance – Data pipeline, data workflows and applications maintenance
• Performance monitoring – Performance monitoring and alerting
• Cost optimization – Insights and cost optimisation, including pCloud and on-prem instances
• Security and compliance – Security, compliance and data access monitoring

• DATA OPERATIONS FOR PALANTIR FOUNDRY

Foundry Accelerators

What are accelerators by Unit8?
Unit8 accelerators are drop and deploy applications and workflows designed to streamline operations on Palantir Foundry and help you see valuable returns quicker.

ACCELERATOR #1

Data assets management
This accelerator allows us to speed-up the initial implementation steps at the beginning of any project (i.e. data quality check, model performance monitoring, tools to lay foundations to build data models)

What does it do:

• manage, evolve and grow data assets with confidence
• strong guidelines for working with data assets to ensure common understanding
• significant reduction in communication overhead
• centralised, accessible data catalogue

• DATA ASSETS MANAGEMENT

ACCELERATOR #2

Performance and cost optimisation
This accelerator combines best-practices and tools we developed to optimise job execution time and reduce platform operating costs

What does it do:

Rapid growth of adoption and usage on Foundry platform often leads to resource contention and uncontrollable explosion of cloud infrastructure costs. Unit8’s Performance and Cost optimisation accelerator combines operational data from the platform to gain better visibility on resources utilisation and continuously manage and optimise costs.

• quantify and attribute incurred costs to users & projects
• identify bottlenecks and sources of resource contention
• reduce disk spillage and job execution time
• eliminate unnecessary job schedules
