Who Will Be the Kingpin of the Soft Grid?�:�Greentech Media

Who Will Be the Kingpin of the Soft Grid?�:�Greentech Media

前不久才有過類似的想法, 沒想到今天就看到這篇相近的文章.
文中提到Smart Grid與Cloud Computing的相似之處與可整合力用於MDM (電力使用/發電資料蒐集), 雖然作者沒直接提到cloud字眼 但是她舉出的應用與廠商如Oracle都是類似的觀念, client 處在世界各地, 系統必須達到scalability (其他列出來的好幾家 其實好幾家都被Oracle併購了).

作者提了幾個觀察:

1. There are no turnkey smart grid solutions
- 目前沒有total solution...

2. There are as many different flavors of MDM as there are vendors selling systems
- 很多廠商自己在搞 MDM (電力使用/發電資料收集)

3. If you do MDM right, a world of opportunities await you, but, if you do it wrong, you'll have a hard time preparing a billing statement, let alone a fancy new smart grid application.
- billing system比甚麼新玩具都更重要 (怎麼拆帳)

4. Most importantly, the winners of the MDMS wars will have their solution in the heart of their client's smart-grid IT infrastructure. Not a bad place to be, especially if you want to provide more value-add and sell more stuff.
- 其實未來有幾種公司可能會出線, a. Oracle這類的雲端solution provider. b. 超強電力公司(營運模式 強到像電信系統一樣). c. 電信公司. d. 超強系統整合商. e. (a, b, c, d) 不等比例綜合體...

Which vendors will win? At this point, the only sure bet is
Oracle.
