Netflix’s key figures
Netflix has come a long way since its DVD rental company in the 1990s. Video consumption on Netflix accounts for 15% of global internet traffic. But Netflix today is also:
- 130 million paying subscribers worldwide (400% increase since 2011)
- $10 billion turnover, including $403 million in profits
- $100 billion market capitalizations, or the sum of all the leading television groups in Europe
- $6 billion investment in original creations (TV shows and movies).
Netflix is also a data warehouse of 60 petabytes (60 million billion bytes), which is a real challenge for the firm to exploit and federate these data.
Netflix’s Big Data platform architecture
Its basic architecture includes three key services. These are the Execution Service (Genie), the Metadata Service (Metacat), and the Event Service (Microbot).
