ENERGY TRANSITION IN PROGRESS
2
3
● rise of renewable energy sources
● regulation & market demands
● competition & increased costs
● intelligent devices in the home or along the
utilities infrastructure
(“Internet of Things”)
● two-way flow of information instead of one-
way
● increase of consumption
4
1. increasing density brings increasing data quality problems
2. strict regulations for safeguarding user privacy
3. redistribution of economic power and energy demand
4. rising competition between distributed and central
5. innovation outpaces regulation

conventional utility systems cannot cope with this data diversity and endless
stream of all types, shapes and sizes
smart meters
smart grid equipment
sensors
home automation
multichannel customer interactions
consumers’ usage behavior

Years of engineering to...
Teach Bigtable to configure itself
Isolate performance from “noisy
neighbors”
React automatically to new patterns,
splitting and balancing
Cloud Bigtable
44
Google has had an internal
cloud for over a decade
The same engineering that has made our
internal services better makes our Cloud
better:
Simpler control planes
Multi-tenancy
Adapts to large, new patterns
4545
Why we chose Google
46
Why did we choose
● Fastest with consistent performance
● Competitive and transparent pricing
● Autoscale to millions of users (and back)
● Unlimited flexible storage and caching
● Big Data & Machine Learning capabilities
● Development SDK & tools
● 24/7 access to expert support resources
