BaseN paves way for energy efficient world

High pollution levels have placed energy efficiency as a key concern for utilities companies and consumers. This problem expanded the need for computerised electric utility grids or smart grids, unlocking opportunities for next-generation data management company BaseN.

A smart grid allows power from renewable sources to flow seamlessly to and from end users, while processing massive volumes of data streaming between devices and a provider's operations centre. This advanced technology promotes efficiency and energy savings, as it allows providers and consumers to see their actual usage and adjust their consumption easily.

Dedicated to large-scale infrastructure monitoring and management, BaseN is an international platform provider offering new ways to capture, process and visualise enormous amounts of real-time data for internet-based products in the telecommunications, energy and health care industries.

"By integrating knowledge, our platform exhausts the benefits of cyberspace," says BaseN president and CEO Pasi Hurri. "Big Data is our next industrial revolution."

With experience from the Finnish Air Force, Hurri established BaseN in 2001 to solve scalability problems in large telecommunication and enterprise information technology networks.

Developing its own architecture and software to offer expanded services, the company provides cloud computing for its suite of data collection and reporting services to enable reliable, speedy and real-time consumption analysis.
