It wants to become the center of the connected home and expand internationally. To fully understand the huge amount of data generated by its smart home sensors, Hive works with Wavefront™ by VMware® to analyze and monitor its cloud platform. This insight is driving IT efficiency and creating real-time service difference.\r\nHive is a supplier of smart home products and services with one million customers in the UK. Owned by Centrica, a major UK energy supplier, Hive plans to become the central control hub for a range of smart home functions, from security to lighting to energy.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Challenge</span>\r\nThe global smart home market is expected to be valued at $137.91 billion by 2023, growing at an average of 13.61% between 2017 and 2023. Hive, already a leader in the UK smart home sector, wants a piece of this action.\r\nFormed by Centrica, the UK utilities giant, in 2012, Hive aims to transform the way people control their home environments. Hive solutions enable customers to control a range of functions (lighting, energy, security) remotely, and help schedule smart interventions.\r\nHive’s plan is to establish market leadership in the UK’s emerging smart home sector, and to begin international expansion. It wants to be able to add new functionality when appropriate.\r\nAt a broader level, Hive has the opportunity to change how utilities suppliers engage with customers. By acting proactively on the huge amounts of user data generated daily, it can adopt a more service-led approach. For Centrica, rather than sending monthly paper bills, Hive is an opportunity to create a more digital and dynamic way of serving energy customers.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“From the very beginning Hive has been set up to be innovative and changedriven. We’re encouraged to experiment,” says Hive’s Head of Operations, Christopher Livermore. “We want our developers to be as close as possible to living and breathing, feeling and understanding the customer experience.”</span>\r\nFor this to work Livermore needed a monitoring platform that could scale, yet be flexible enough to discover granular insight. Hive wanted to monitor not only the performance of its AWS cloud infrastructure, but the very complex and constantly\r\nchanging patterns of customer behavior. “We wanted to empower our development teams,” he says.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Action</span>\r\nThe solution, Livermore explains, came from a conversation with someone in the social gaming industry. He realized this market – where a game’s success can go global in hours, shared many of the same attributes as smart homes:\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Rapid change, the potential of enormous scale, and a desire to engage in the customer experience…they had many of the same aspirations as us.”</span>\r\nThis led him to Wavefront by VMware, a cloud-native analytics and monitoring platform that provides 3D observability into metrics, traces and histograms.\r\nWavefront allows Hive to set up alerts, troubleshoot problems with automated anomaly detection, see the real-time impact of production codes, and create meaningful dashboards to monitor overall system health.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“Wavefront came along and gave us graphs and dashboards and put some tangibility around all of these concepts we'd been talking about,” says Livermore.</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“It then allows us to send alerts to targeted groups of people. We were able to reassure our development teams quite quickly that they would only be receiving information that was relevant to them and relevant to their product.</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“The key feature for us is the service-based nature of the Wavefront offering,"</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Livermore continues. “It scales as we scale.</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“We're sending over 100,000 data points per second to Wavefront. We know that you’d struggle to build a monitoring platform that was that capable, because we've tried doing it ourselves.”</span>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Impact</span>\r\nThis ability to scale is crucial. Hive has grown to one million customers in the UK, and plans to expand into Italy, France and the U.S. in the near future. It wants to double its customer count by 2020, rising to five million in the next few years.\r\nIt doesn’t just want to add numbers, it wants to understand consumer habits.\r\n<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">“It means we can focus on the data in Wavefront rather than focus on the system that's holding the data,” Livermore explains. </span>","alias":"wavefronttm-by-vmwarer-for-smart-home-energy-solutions-provider","roi":0,"seo":{"title":"Wavefront™ by VMware® for smart home energy solutions provider","keywords":"","description":"INDUSTRY: ENERGY/SMART HOME\r\nLOCATION: LONDON, UK\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">KEY CHALLENGES:</span>\r\n• Establish effective monitoring of complex infrastructure\r\n• Be faster to market with new customer services, and quicker to find and resolve issues\r\n• ","og:title":"Wavefront™ by VMware® for smart home energy solutions provider","og:description":"INDUSTRY: ENERGY/SMART HOME\r\nLOCATION: LONDON, UK\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">KEY CHALLENGES:</span>\r\n• Establish effective monitoring of complex infrastructure\r\n• Be faster to market with new customer services, and quicker to find and resolve issues\r\n• "},"deal_info":"","user":{"id":4719,"title":"Hive","logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/Hive.png","alias":"hive","address":"","roles":[],"description":"Hive is a supplier of smart home products and services with one million customers in the UK.

Today it’s possible to have a data warehouse in the cloud that you can access with business intelligence software running as a service and connect to your cloud-based ERP like NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics.The dollar savings can run into the millions. And SaaS installations are often installed and working in a fraction of the time of on-premises deployments—some can be ready in hours. \r\nSales and marketing people are likely familiar with Salesforce.com, the leading SaaS CRM software, with millions of users across more than 100,000 customers. Sales is going SaaS too, with apps available to support sales in order management, compensation, quote production and configure, price, quoting, electronic signatures, contract management and more.\r\n<h1 class=\"align-center\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Why SaaS? Benefits of software as a service</span></h1>\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Lower cost of entry</span>. With SaaS solution, you pay for what you need, without having to buy hardware to host your new applications. Instead of provisioning internal resources to install the software, the vendor provides APIs and performs much of the work to get their software working for you. The time to a working solution can drop from months in the traditional model to weeks, days or hours with the SaaS model. In some businesses, IT wants nothing to do with installing and running a sales app. In the case of funding software and its implementation, this can be a make-or-break issue for the sales and marketing budget, so the lower cost really makes the difference.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Reduced time to benefit/rapid prototyping</span>. In the SaaS model, the software application is already installed and configured. Users can provision the server for the cloud and quickly have the application ready for use. This cuts the time to benefit and allows for rapid demonstrations and prototyping. With many SaaS companies offering free trials, this means a painless proof of concept and discovery phase to prove the benefit to the organization. </li></ul>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Pay as you go</span>. SaaS business software gives you the benefit of predictable costs both for the subscription and to some extent, the administration. Even as you scale, you can have a clear idea of what your costs will be. This allows for much more accurate budgeting, especially as compared to the costs of internal IT to manage upgrades and address issues for an owned instance.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The SaaS vendor is responsible for upgrades, uptime and security</span>. Under the SaaS model, since the software is hosted by the vendor, they take on the responsibility for maintaining the software and upgrading it, ensuring that it is reliable and meeting agreed-upon service level agreements, and keeping the application and its data secure. While some IT people worry about Software as a Service security outside of the enterprise walls, the likely truth is that the vendor has a much higher level of security than the enterprise itself would provide. Many will have redundant instances in very secure data centers in multiple geographies. Also, the data is being automatically backed up by the vendor, providing additional security and peace of mind. Because of the data center hosting, you’re getting the added benefit of at least some disaster recovery. Lastly, the vendor manages these issues as part of their core competencies—let them.</li></ul>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Integration and scalability.</span> Most SaaS apps are designed to support some amount of customization for the way you do business. SaaS vendors create APIs to allow connections not only to internal applications like ERPs or CRMs but also to other SaaS providers. One of the terrific aspects of integration is that orders written in the field can be automatically sent to the ERP. Now a salesperson in the field can check inventory through the catalog, write the order in front of the customer for approval, send it and receive confirmation, all in minutes. And as you scale with a SaaS vendor, there’s no need to invest in server capacity and software licenses. </li></ul>\r\n\r\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Work anywhere</span>. Since the software is hosted in the cloud and accessible over the internet, users can access it via mobile devices wherever they are connected. This includes checking customer order histories prior to a sales call, as well as having access to real time data and real time order taking with the customer.</li></ul>\r\n<p class=\"align-left\"> </p>","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/SaaS__1_.png"},{"id":45,"title":"SIEM - Security Information and Event Management","alias":"siem-security-information-and-event-management","description":"<span style=\"font-weight: bold; \">Security information and event management (SIEM)</span> is an approach to security management that combines SIM (security information management) and SEM (security event management) functions into one security management system. \r\n The underlying principles of every SIEM system is to aggregate relevant data from multiple sources, identify deviations from the norm and take appropriate action.

A SIEM solution not only identifies that an attack has happened, but allows you to see how and why it happened as well.\r\nAs organizations update and upscale to increasingly complex IT infrastructures, SIEM has become even more important in recent years. Contrary to popular belief, firewalls and antivirus packages are not enough to protect a network in its entirety. Zero-day attacks can still penetrate a system’s defenses even with these security measures in place.\r\nSIEM addresses this problem by detecting attack activity and assessing it against past behavior on the network. A security event monitoring has the ability to distinguish between legitimate use and a malicious attack. This helps to increase a system’s incident protection and avoid damage to systems and virtual property.\r\nThe use of SIEM also helps companies to comply with a variety of industry cyber management regulations.
