Volatile commodity prices, the difficulty of extraction and accessibility of resources and political risk, put a strain on companies in the energy sector. Dealing with increasing amounts of data, new interpretation, visualization, modelling applications, and new access methods such as virtual desktops, is putting energy IT management under tremendous pressure. Additionally with the increase in malicious cyber threats that are dismantling energy grids all over the world, it is important that energy and utility organizations guarantee an always operational “pipeline” to ensure continuity for exploration and production (E&P), refining and processing, distribution and sales.
![]() Ransomware Attacks against programmable logic controllers (PLC) and industrial control systems used in many energy and utilities operational environments are on the increase. Many of these systems go for long periods without patching or fixing vulnerabilities. A test scenario was recently run that showed a ransomware attack targeting a water supplier control system, threatening to dump dangerous levels of chlorine in the water should the ransom not be paid |
![]() Scale of data Energy organizations have increasing data such as advanced metering data, engineering systems, R&D data and ERPs, including workloads on multiple offline and online locations, making it difficult to keep costs low |
![]() Shift to hybrid Energy and Utilities IT workloads are utilizing a broad range of hardware and storage solutions creating hybrid environments which are hard to manage. Dealing with increasing amounts of data, new interpretation, visualization, modelling applications, and new access methods such as virtual desktops, is putting energy IT management under tremendous pressure. |
At Tectrade we understand the risks associated with failed backups and recoveries, compliance, data retention, visibility, and storage infrastructure cost/capacity management and will undertake the toughest challenges to allowing secure, cost-effective access to computing and software resources to energy and utility systems wherever they are.
