High-resilience cloud IPaaS to help NZ power distribution withstand major storm or earthquake
New Zealand electrical contractor and power distribution company, Northpower, wanted an out of band, sure-fire method for receiving and sending client service requests to their cloud based dispatch solution — especially during major storm events when outages on network communications could interrupt integration between clients and service provider. In 2015, they used Microsoft Azure, to create a business-to-business application in the cloud that connects client fault centres to Northpower Dispatch services. Using Azure App Services, it took just 400 hours to create and costs NZ$10 per day to run. With exceptional resilience, it enables Northpower to keep engineers working even if a major storm takes its own server communications down.
