A legacy stack that could not keep up.
Data volumes kept growing, upgrades were blocked by legacy SCPA and 3 TB of data needed moving.
- Lack of capability to reduce data ingestion of 300 GB per month across 600 equipment
- Inability to implement upgrades or advanced automation due to legacy SCPA (Smart Connected Product Accelerator)
- Unable to migrate 3 TB of existing data efficiently
How ITHENA closed the gaps.
ITHENA addressed key challenges with effective solutions:
Optimized Data Ingestion
Reduced data ingestion from 300 GB to 25 GB per month, significantly enhancing operational efficiency
Seamless Upgrades
Modernized SCPA and ThingWorx, enabling faster and smoother upgrades to the latest versions
Efficient Data Migration
Migrated 3 TB of data with minimal disruption, ensuring maximum efficiency and smooth transition
Lower Cloud Spend
Trimmed data ingestion and storage on the upgraded platform, cutting cloud cost while keeping all 600 pieces of equipment connected.
