Customer Accelerates Energy Transition with Cloud Migration
Introduction
Customer, a global leader in energy technology, is at the forefront of the energy transition. Committed to creating a more sustainable future, Customer offers a wide range of solutions for renewable energy generation, such as wind and solar power, as well as technologies to reduce CO2 emissions from conventional power generation. With a long history and deep industry expertise, Customer is well-positioned to address the evolving energy needs of global markets.
The Challenge
As a multinational company with a complex IT landscape, Customer sought to modernize its infrastructure and accelerate innovation. One of its critical systems, SIMATIC SCADA, which is used to monitor and control industrial processes in real-time, required a more flexible and scalable platform. The company recognized the potential benefits of cloud computing but needed a partner to guide them through the complex migration process.
The Solution
Noventiq was selected to assist Customer with the migration of its SIMATIC SCADA system to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our team of experienced cloud engineers worked closely with Customer 's global development team to:
- Assess the current environment: A thorough evaluation of the existing SCADA system was conducted to identify dependencies, potential risks, and opportunities for optimization.
- Design a cloud-native architecture: A robust cloud architecture was designed to meet Customer 's specific requirements for performance, security, and scalability.
- Migrate the workload: The SCADA system was carefully migrated to GCP, ensuring minimal downtime and data loss.
- Optimize for the cloud: The migrated system was optimized to take advantage of GCP's managed services, such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions, to improve performance and reduce operational costs.
Results
The successful migration of the SIMATIC SCADA system to GCP has yielded significant benefits for Customer :
- Increased agility: The cloud-native architecture enables Customer to rapidly deploy new
features and respond to changing market demands.
- Improved scalability: GCP's scalable infrastructure allows Customer to handle increasing workloads and accommodate future growth.
- Enhanced security: GCP's robust security features protect Customer 's sensitive data and systems. -
- Reduced operational costs: By leveraging GCP's managed services, Customer has reduced its operational costs and improved efficiency.
Conclusion
Customer 's successful migration to GCP is a testament to the power of cloud computing in driving digital transformation. By partnering with Noventiq, Customer has accelerated its journey towards a more sustainable and efficient future.
Key Takeaways:
- Cloud migration can be a complex process, but with the right partner and a well-defined strategy, it can be successful.
