Existing Platform

We wanted to offer our customers a way to automatically feed energy usage data into our product, instead of manually collecting and uploading it. We picked Cisco’s EnergyWise protocol to query individual devices for their energy usage over IP. But once we’re querying thousands of individual devices hourly, the data floodgates are wide open—how do we ramp up quickly each time we sign a new customer? The On-Demand Scalability Problem

Enter: We already had a self-hosted, Java/Linux based application and we didn’t want to start over. But we did want to extend our reach into the cloud so we followed a hybrid model . Azure helps us tie the existing Java application together with a C# data aggregator written entirely in Azure. Even an old-salt Java guy like me needed to be able to do it.

Design Goals Isolate the rest of CSRWare’s SaaS application from being overwhelmed by misbehaving data collectors at a client site. Scale quickly with growing demand. Keep as thin a client footprint as possible—maintain SaaS advantage.

Successes With less than 40 hours of work, one senior person who hadn’t done Microsoft development in 10 years was able to get a service running and saving data into SQL Services. If you take out the time installing tooling, the remaining development time was considerably less—on the order of a dozen hours, including learning the technology. We now have a service we can scale as necessary as new customers come on board. It all ran like a breeze on my ancient laptop. Illustration © ioannis kounadeas - Fotolia.com

Roadmap: Where do we go from here? With the framework in place, we plan to aggressively add new kinds of data collection adaptors. Currently the web service is exposed directly from the cloud. Next we’ll front it with a .Net Services endpoint instead to make scaling more transparent. We often need to implement custom surveys for a client’s supply chain—these would be perfect for the cloud.
