关于客户
图卢兹南比利牛斯 Genopole 是 1999 年在法国南部设立的一个研究项目,是国家 Genopole 网络的一部分。该倡议汇集了法国七个地点的公共实验室、生物技术公司和教育机构。图卢兹 Genopole 由 30 个学术实验室组成,约有 3,000 名研究人员在五个基本领域工作:微生物学、植物和动物、健康、伦理学和生物信息学。 Genopole 的生物信息学资源由图卢兹 INRA(国家农艺研究所)计算中心托管。 Genopole 为四类用户提供服务:通过平台的开放网站访问生物信息学工具的生物学家、在控制台模式下运行生物信息学工具的 UNIX 知识生物学家、为大规模基因组学或生物信息学项目开发新界面和工作流程系统的软件工程师以及科学家为基因检测、比较基因组学、微阵列分析、序列搜索和其他领域开发新的算法和方法。
挑战
图卢兹南比利牛斯 Genopole 是 1999 年在法国南部设立的一个研究项目,目前正面临着重大挑战。该计划是国家基因组网络的一部分,正在处理越来越多的完整基因组序列,需要更多的处理器和密集的利用。图卢兹 Genopole 最初的生物信息学计算平台是四处理器 Dell 服务器,后来又补充了四 CPU IBM 系统。然而,这些资源对于雄心勃勃的生物信息学计划和研究人员在三个 Genopole 连接实验室开发生物信息学工具来说是不够的。对计算资源的需求正在稳步增长,而现有的基础设施却无法跟上。
解决方案
为了应对这一挑战,Altair 提供了功能强大的工作负载管理器和作业数组,以提高图卢兹 Genopole 系统的功能和用户友好性。作业数组是 Altair PBS Professional 工作负载管理软件的一项功能,允许用户将一组作业作为单个作业提交和管理。此功能在大规模生物信息学研究中特别有用。法国 Altair 团队与 Genopole 合作,将其生物信息学应用程序与 Job Arrays 功能集成。该软件安装在 INRA 的 LNXI Opteron 集群上,升级至 96 个处理器,并于 2006 年 1 月上线。展望未来,INRA 已在图卢兹 Genopole 的 HPC 平台中实施了基于 Web 的服务,并吸引了新的访客。在 Altair 的帮助下,Web 界面将很快与 PBS Professional 集成,以管理远程用户的作业提交。

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.
