Case Study: PowerFlex achieves zero data loss at the edge with Synadia and NATS JetStream

Optimizing Edge Connectivity with NATS JetStream

PowerFlex, a clean technology solutions company and subsidiary of EDF, faced the challenge of modernizing its architecture to manage its growing network of EV charging stations, batteries, and solar arrays. They needed a system that could ensure reliable, real-time communication between the cloud and the edge in harsh, low-connectivity environments while eliminating data loss and enabling scalability.

With Synadia's NATS platform and its JetStream persistence layer, PowerFlex implemented a lightweight and secure messaging solution. This provided data buffering at the edge for reliable synchronization, leading to zero data loss, a doubling of managed EV charging stations, and increased operational observability and security. Partnering with Synadia experts also accelerated their development process, ensuring the system could scale effortlessly to support the company's expansive growth.
