Good Energy’s Challenge: Capturing Mother Nature.“Our biggest challenge is really about database management and being able to access data fast,” says Juliet. “We have various different systems but really it’s about how good our servers are and what they can deliver for our customer services team.”Even more critical, Good Energy needs to collect information around the clock from weather systems and customers to effectively meet customer demand. A data gap of 30-minutes or more is catastrophic for business. Good Energy’s Solution: PowerEdge™ servers.
Good Energy chooses Dell PowerEdge™ servers to provide robust and reliable data management capabilities that keep its customers’ power up and running. Based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 Series, PowerEdge servers are also designed to also help lower IT operating and staff administration costs. “We need to make sure that we’ve got systems that we can bring back online as quickly as possible if there’s a power outage and make sure they give us the reliability that we need going forwards,” explains Juliet.Good Energy is preparing to launch a new initiative that takes weather feeds in from across the UK to forecast some of the 700 generators that generate power on an almost minute by minute basis.
