关于客户
Haven Power 是一家位于伊普斯威奇的能源公司，成立于 2006 年，专门服务于中小型企业客户的电力需求，并为大型跨国电力供应商提供替代方案。避风港已经长大了
挑战
自 2006 年推出以来，Haven 对客户服务的关注推动了快速增长。在最初的五年里，该公司运行在由现场和非现场服务器混合组成的混合基础架构上。 Haven 的系统不像它希望的那样灵活，对技术测试和开发的支持有限。该公司缺乏完整的业务连续性和灾难恢复 (DR) 计划，需要一个既能满足需求又能帮助推动进一步增长的技术基础设施。
Haven 有三个选择：通过其母公司 Drax Group 的数据中心获得灾难恢复解决方案；通过第三方搬迁灾备服务；或迁移到云端。
解决方案
Haven 和 KCOM 构建了其基础设施的副本并在 AWS 云中启动它。为此，Haven Power 拥有 Oracle 和 SQL Server 数据库、Active Directory、Microsoft Exchange、Windows 文件共享和其他 Amazon 系统映像，托管在都柏林欧洲（爱尔兰）地区三个可用区的 Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) 中，准备好在灾难发生时立即通知。 “在异地复制其生产环境使我们有信心，一旦发生自然灾害，我们的数据将保持安全，”阿姆斯特朗说。除此之外，该公司还使用 Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) 作为中间存储。 Amazon Glacier 用于生产数据库备份。
Haven 从那里扩展了对 AWS 的使用。该公司对年营业额超过 7.5 亿英镑的账单使用本地计费解决方案。随着基础设施的使用已接近 5 年，本地解决方案已接近其生命周期的尽头。 “我们必须进行重大且昂贵的升级才能将系统安装到我们想要的位置，”阿姆斯特朗说。 2013 年底，Haven 决定将其计费系统（一种任务关键型工作负载）迁移到 AWS 上的生产环境。该公司在 AWS CloudFormation 上构建其计费应用程序并使用 AWS DirectConnect 设置网络。迁移成功，公司已将其基于 SQL Server 的数据仓库迁移到 AWS。最终解决方案将 Haven 本地连接到跨 2 个虚拟私有云 (VPC) 的三个 AWS 可用区 (AZ)。一个 VPC 为业务连续性保留在一个单独的 AZ 中，另一个 VPC 跨 2 个 AZ 创建以提供自动故障转移。

Hydro One Leads the Way In Smart Meter Development
In 2010, Ontario’s energy board mandated that time-of-use (TOU) pricing for consumers be available for all consumers on a regulated price plan. To meet this requirement, Hydro One needed to quickly deploy a smart meter and intelligent communications network solution to meet the provincial government’s requirement at a low cost. The network needed to cover Hydro One’s expansive service territory, which has a land mass twice the size of Texas, and its customers live in a mix of urban, rural, and remote areas, some places only accessible by air, rail, boat or snowmobile. Most importantly, the network needed to enable future enterprise-wide business efficiencies, modernization of distribution infrastructure and enhanced customer service. To meet these needs, Hydro One conceptualized an end-to-end solution leveraging open standards and Internet Protocols (IP) at all communication levels. The utility drew upon industry leaders like Trilliant to realize this vision.

Selling more with Whirlpool
Whirlpool wanted to add connectivity to appliances and transform the company's relationship with customers. Traditionally, Whirlpool interaction with customers was limited to purchases made once every ten years. Connected washer and dryers provide exciting new features like remote management of start times and inter-machine communication.

SAS® Analytics for IoT: Smart Grid
Companies face falling revenues, rising infrastructure costs, and increasing risk of outages caused by inconsistent energy production from renewable sources. Less money is coming in as more people and organizations take steps to curb their energy use. Utilities are paying more to maintain and build infrastructure due to increasing complexity, resulting from the rising number of intermittent and variable renewable energy sources connected in the distribution grid.

Enel Secures Italian Power Generation Network
Electric energy operators around the world are working to increase the reliability and cyber resiliency of their systems. This includes Enel, a global power company that manages and monitors the Italian power grid. This grid:• Serves 31 million customers• Has a net installed energy capacity exceeding 31 gigawatts• Includes more than 500 power generation plants,including hydroelectric, thermoelectric, and wind• Is managed and monitored by Enel 24/7/365• Is operated by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO)Enel is responsible for the availability of the grid’s underlying ICS and industrial network. It also manages Regional Control Centers and Interconnection Centers which connect with the TSO. The TSO manages the flow of energy to the grid plus controls and remotely regulates the power generation of power plants, increasing and decreasing power production as required. The complex system of interaction and cooperation between Enel and the TSO has strong security implications as well as operational and business challenges.

IoT based Energy Quality Availability Monitoring Solution
There were several challenges faced:Since this data would be in the public domain, accuracy and authenticity of this data were of paramount importance. It should be able to withstand scrutiny.It is challenging to build an appliance that can withstand a wide range of voltage fluctuations from as low at 90v to as high as 320v. Since the device would be installed in remote locations, its resilience was of paramount importance.The device would have to deal with poor network coverage and have the ability to store and re-transmit data if networks were not available, which is often the case in rural India. The device could store up to 30 days of data.The platform that deals with the data should be readily available and highly reliable and never lose a packet of data.
