July 18, 2023 - SparkMeter is pleased to announce the latest release of its Praxis platform (Praxis) and software architecture which is now cloud agnostic and can run on any popular cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, as well as industrial SaaS platforms offered by industrial automation companies.
Praxis is an industrial-grade SaaS and on-premise platform that manages and curates real-time data across utility assets including smart meters, other grid sensors, and utility records. Such high frequency data provides a cohesive record for a 360-degree view to fuel purpose-built applications and analytics to facilitate and drive intelligent utility operations and decision making.
Praxis seamlessly integrates with the provisioning architecture and offers unprecedented performance, throughput, and connectivity for managing high frequency AMI and grid data and is highly scalable to support small utilities, minigrids as well as larger distribution utilities. Praxis provides superb connectivity for analytics engines and applications as well as any 3rd party applications. It also supports an ecosystem to have 3rd party developers and customers to easily develop their own applications and analytics leaving all data acquisition, processing, resource provisioning to the Praxis platform.
SparkMeter’s own Koios, GridFin, and GridScan applications run on the Praxis infrastructure supporting containerized segregation and as micro services. "Although we have been traditionally running on the Amazon AWS platform successfully, various customers have requested support of other cloud infrastructures and even industrial SaaS/cloud platforms. The new release of our Praxis architecture supports all cloud infrastructures equitably with the same performance and security characteristics", said Dan Schnitzer, SparkMeter's CEO.
