Case Study: Silver Spring Networks achieves real-time smart grid insights with DataTorrent Enterprise

Silver Spring Networks fuels smart energy applications using real-time streaming analytics

Silver Spring Networks, a leading smart energy networking platform for utilities, needed a real-time analytics solution to handle the explosive growth of smart grid data from millions of connected devices. Its batch-based systems were too slow and costly to support timely insights, outage reduction, and better customer service. DataTorrent’s real-time streaming analytics platform, built on Apache Apex, was used to address this challenge.

DataTorrent implemented the DataTorrent Enterprise platform with in-memory stream processing, fault tolerance, auto-scaling, and monitoring tools to ingest and analyze high-volume, multi-format data in real time. As a result, Silver Spring Networks could improve operations and load management, detect failures faster, reduce outages, speed application development, and recover automatically from failures with zero downtime.
