关于客户
The City of Arvada is a local city government in the Western United States. The IT department for the City of Arvada recently partnered with the city’s internal staff and all of its departments to deliver efficient and effective information services in order to enable the departments to provide key services to the citizens and community. A small, dedicated staff of 29 provides technology management for all city departments, including the police department, city-owned websites, financial management systems, and many other business systems.
挑战
The IT department for the City of Arvada needed to update its Computer Aided Dispatch and Record Management System (CAD/RMS), a critical application that drives dispatching and logging for the emergency 911 services and police employees working around the city. The existing system was running on Cisco Blade servers connected to a Dell Compellent SAN, and this configuration was becoming too expensive to augment and maintain effectively. The department looked for an affordable, efficient, reliable, and easily manageable solution that would enable the IT staff to maintain the high-end levels of service expected by the city staff. They also needed to improve their disaster recovery capabilities.
解决方案
The city government evaluated SimpliVity’s Data Virtualization Platform—its globally federated, hyperconverged IT infrastructure solution—and found that it met their needs better than any other solution on the market. OmniCube provided the storage that the city needed for all of its new virtual machines with a smaller data center footprint, lower costs, easier management, and faster roll-out than its management as well as faster roll-out than traditional or alternative “hyperconverged” solutions. In addition, OmniCube’s “data-center-in-a-box” methodology provided advanced disaster recovery capabilities. It provided the ability to quickly test DR, enabling the security to ensure recovery in the event of a disaster, a comfort level that was previously unavailable with their legacy technology. The city government, and its IT staff, installed two OmniCube CN-3000s in the city’s production environment and two redundant OmniCube CN-3000s in its backup data center.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
