THE SHIFT TO INDUSTRY 4.0

Energy and Utilities

Technological advancements and automation in the energy industry produce a vast amount of unstructured data every second. Unlike Industry 3.0, which used computers to improve existing processes, Industry 4.0 aims to reimagine every process around data. With the introduction of renewable energy, distributed grids, and increased customer experience demands, the energy industry is undergoing major changes to move towards green energy.

The next question is, what type of cloud computing strategy would be ideal for the energy sector with a vast amount of unstructured data? The scalability and flexibility of a public cloud or the privacy and security of a private cloud?

Sudden Wave of Change

The arrival of new technologies and digital transformation has forced traditional power utility sector to reinvent themselves and catch the wave of change to stay competitive.

These are some common challenges every business faces, whether they are large or small.

NOT THE OPTIMAL LOCATION FOR CONNECTIVITY

Data Location

Compliance, regulatory, and security needs can influence where data and workloads are stored. With a hybrid environment, IT security teams can plan out and standardise data redundancy which is critical for disaster recovery planning and insurance.

GETTING ON OR GETTING OFF TAKES STRINGENT PLANNING

Cloud Repatriation

While the Private Cloud allows better control across compliance, regulatory, and security needs, Public Cloud, on the other hand, provides scalability, which allows businesses to address the ever-increasing demand for service experience. Successful hybrid cloud adoption and implementation require rigorous end-to-end cloud migration planning.
