NetApp Supports Vital Energi in Transforming Data into Energy Savings Throughout the UK
April 27 2017 - 8:00AM
“To keep pace with continued growth and better serve our customers,
we needed to overhaul our IT infrastructure,” said Jon Woan, IT
manager at Vital Energi. “As a result of working with Gardner and
NetApp, we now have an efficient, scalable solution that enables us
to deliver more services and savings to our customers.”
Headquartered in the U.K city of Blackburn, with
offices in Scotland and London, Vital Energi designs, builds,
operates, and maintains sustainable and renewable methods of energy
generation, distribution, and management. Part of the
company’s offering is to analyze energy consumption data with the
aim of reducing carbon emissions and energy bills for their
customers. Its projects are wide ranging, from the installation,
repair and operation of district heating and cooling networks, to
smart heat metering and billing, and ESCO (Energy Services Company)
services.
To accommodate increasing growth, the company
needed to overhaul its IT infrastructure and ensure its systems
could continue to operate at optimal levels, delivering the best
solutions to customers. Working with Gardner Systems plc,
Vital Energi deployed a NetApp® (NASDAQ:NTAP) all-flash array to
speed performance and deployed NetApp AltaVault™ cloud-integrated
storage to help the company meet mandatory data backup
requirements. As a result, the company can run enterprise
applications up to 20 times faster, scale to meet business demand,
reduce its own power consumption, and quickly process reports from
growing data sets.
With its new infrastructure in place, Vital Energi
is free to focus on innovation. For example, they can take
readings from smart meters in homes, analyze the data, and quickly
produce reports that allow the company to see which meters are not
functioning and report the faults back to the meter manufacturers.
From the residents’ point of view, this predictive failure model
enables them to save even more on their energy bills. From Vital
Energi’s view, it’s a new tool to leverage even greater savings
for clients.
With its new solution, Vital Energi has seen:
- Reduction of time required generating business critical reports
from 6 to 12 hours to less than 30 minutes
- Much faster performance
- Cost-effective and secure cloud storage for data backup and
archiving
- Simplified management that lifts the operational burden from
the IT team
- First-class support that understands the business
