Case Study: Brookfield Renewable achieves high-availability, optimized control systems with Daymark Solutions

Brookfield Renewable - Customer Case Study

Brookfield Renewable, a major hydroelectric and renewable energy operator across North America, needed a modern, highly available data center infrastructure to support its mission-critical control systems in the U.S. and Canada. The company had zero tolerance for downtime and wanted better visibility into system performance, growth trends, and overall environment health, while freeing internal staff to focus on more strategic work. Daymark Solutions helped address these needs with its Reporting-as-a-Service (RaaS) managed service alongside a new virtualized infrastructure.

Daymark Solutions architected and deployed a NetApp FlexPod solution built on Cisco UCS, NetApp storage, Cisco networking, and VMware virtualization, creating active-active high availability between Brookfield Renewable’s U.S. and Canadian data centers. Through ongoing RaaS reporting and analysis, Daymark Solutions identified performance and configuration issues, improved forecasting for capacity and budgeting, and helped ensure the environment stayed optimized and highly available. The result was better system health, stronger visibility, and reduced operational burden on Brookfield’s IT team.
