5C’s Series
Scaling Cloud Infrastructure for Millions
of Devices
Part of a series of webinars on “5C’s That Changed the Future - CI, CD, Containers, Cloud & Culture”
How do you architect a public cloud solution to handle input from millions of IoT devices?
The nDimensional team has been a pioneer in building machine learning applications to solve industrial-scale challenges for nearly 30 years. As businesses seek to capitalize on big data and IoT, they need to operationalize not just their data, but AI. nD is one of a select few end-to-end platforms for operationalizing machine learning in real-time, production settings.
nD’s experience extends to numerous industries, including providing credit card fraud detection; optimizing fuel efficiency, emissions and availability of electric power generators; using satellite imagery for mapping forest changes; predicting sports injuries and player performance; and more.
Re-architecting and migrating nD to public cloud was no small engineering achievement. Requirements included the ability to scale to handle input from millions of devices, with near-zero latency.
nDimensional partnered with AWS and nClouds to deliver a modern infrastructure that includes:
- Scalable and secure compute capacity with Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2).
- Fully managed NoSQL database able to provide consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale with Amazon DynamoDB.
- Data lake for storing massive amounts of data with Amazon S3.
Join the webinar to learn more about nDimensional’s continuing journey and lessons for creating scalable cloud infrastructure.
