The Dell Smart Grid Data Management Solution combines computing, networking and storage in order to manage data and provide results in real time, the firm said.
Dell global energy sales director Jeff Gillespey commented, "Smart grid technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way power is produced, delivered, used and conserved – but only if we can effectively capture, analyze and respond to the data that is generated."
The company has teamed up with OSIsoft, a US-based firm that delivers the PI System for management of real-time data and events, to test the bundled solution.
The smart grid solution’s reference architecture provides data in near-real time to grid operators as well as features Dell PowerEdge 12th-generation servers with PCI Express Flash drives.
