In one more pioneer project
in the country, Neoenergia has completed the installation of
Nutanix's hyperconvergence tool, a system that will unify technological
frameworks of the group's distributors – Celpe (PE), Coelba (BA) Cosern (RN) and Elektro (SP and MS). The deployment of this
system will optimize and automate certain infrastructure and technology
processes of the company, increasing the reliability and safety of energy
supply for the consumer units.
Hyperconvergence is a
process of unifying technological frameworks. It enables a reduction of up to
60% for the infrastructure within a conventional data center, ensuring the same
characteristics of redundancy in the system and its scalability, generating
savings of approximately 40% in the cost of processes. "Hyperconvergence
came to unify. Currently we have an aggregate of technology, which is disk
spacing, memory and processing. With the system, all these processes will
remain in only one place", explained Marlos Santos, Neoenergia’s
infrastructure analyst (NUTANIX hyperconvergence specialist), and in charge of
the process coordination.
The hyperconvergence
developed by Nutanix is the most widely renowned and traditional around the
world. It was the pioneer in the production of this technology and was a model
for other companies in the technological segment that developed their own
hyperconvergence prototype.
In addition to improving
internal processes and reducing costs for distributors, the technology will
strengthen the energy supply to the population. Hyperconvergence enables
increased processing performance, stability, speed and data scalability
compared to conventional technology. And all this combined with enhanced
information security.
Bruno Agra, Real Time and
Cyber Security Systems Supervisor, summarized how hyperconvergence will improve
energy distribution for Neoenergia customers. "The company achieves an
improvement of about 40% in the performance of some processes. This leads to a
better delivery of the services rendered by the distributors through
applications, speed, safety and resilience of the data used for the operation
of the electrical system. Databases and digital systems are at the core of
modern companies, and with hyperconvergence they will be better structured to
work to the benefit of customers. This Hyperconvergence environment will be the
supporting base for the systems used to operate the Electrical System at
Neoenergia", he analyzed.
