CLOUGLOBAL yin yang

Hello Subscriber

This week we take a closer look at inner peace and balance (阴阳 or Yin and Yang). Following the news we need a lot. The new timeframe for AMI implementation in Germany is year 2035, but only for consumers with more than 6,000 kWh per year.
Most likely it takes more time, since the construction of the German capital airport BER had a delay of 15 years.
This has nothing to do with the COVID-19 pandemic, it's a deep structural problem.
On the other hand, Covid has opened new business opportunities.
Some politicians got commission for selling FFP2 masks to the government. It's pretty much easy to make 10 million Euro, especially when you increase the business by enforcing the population to wear this mask type only. This case is under investigation.
Or, you are a musician and open together with a bar owner as startup-software company.
Then you can sell a registration software solution to German provincial governments with the ease. There was no tender or other formalities. Finally, the Federal Cyber Security Authority (BSI) is taking care at least of the security aspects.

Yin and Yang is working, but sometimes slowly.

A faster way to keep the balance is our ClouESP advanced metering system. After comprehensive testing we are proud to announce a new feature.


Load Balancing for AMI Servers
This enhanced technology is used to
  • Prevent spikes on a single server
  • Distribute the requests equally to several servers
    The best praxis is to operate with five servers.
  • Avoid downtimes for server maintenance
  • Minimizes the meter request response time
  • Ensures performance and reliability of computing resources
  • Adds redundancy to AMI computing environments
If you have already a running system with token generation for the STS payment system, you might have encountered that the load is not balanced during a week. A Friday evening is a typical spike-time. Our solution can help to overcome these peaks.

Finally, my long-time assistant Vivian Sun has left our company this week. We wish her all the best for her future career.

Thank you for your interest and stay safe,
