Metrix Foundation - Making Smart Meters Smarter with BizTalk

with Wagner Silveira

The largest provider of electricity meters and metering services in Auckland is Metrix. Metrix is currently deploying a range of Smart Metering and communication devices throughout the region. To support the new meters Metrix needed a platform to enable the reliable and efficient delivery of smart data services. Foundation is this new solution and went live in May. This complex architectural feat was delivered in a challenging environment due to very aggressive SLAs, high availability and high performance requirements. Come learn about this solution which, at its core, is a series of BizTalk Server 2010 applications that provide integration to multiple legacy and new systems. It’s a great example of how BizTalk features can be fully utilised and optimised. During this session we will present the high-level architecture of this solution, focusing on the integration with BizTalk. We’ll lead the audience through some of the key architectural decisions and a series of very useful techniques used to conquer the main challenges found during design and development.
