The Challenge
Inovonics, a leader in wireless sensor networks for life safety applications, faced the challenge of harnessing the vast amounts of data collected by its devices. The data was previously siloed, limiting its potential for actionable insights. The company needed a robust data platform to centralize this data, reduce operational overhead, and provide high performance and resiliency. Additionally, Inovonics sought to leverage this data for new product offerings, such as predictive maintenance analytics and insights into security risks, while minimizing the operational footprint and costs.
About The Customer
Inovonics is a prominent provider of high-performance wireless sensor networks, specializing in life safety applications across various sectors including healthcare, education, government, banking, multifamily housing, and senior living. With over 10 million devices deployed globally, Inovonics has access to a unique and extensive dataset. The company has a 30-year history of delivering wireless technology solutions and has recently shifted focus to harnessing big data for advanced analytics. This transition aims to provide customers with valuable insights and enhance the company's product offerings.
The Solution
To address its challenges, Inovonics adopted Redis Enterprise VPC from Redis Labs, hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This solution allowed Inovonics to centralize its data, enabling advanced analytics and reducing operational overhead. Redis Enterprise's compatibility with GCP and its fully managed operations allowed Inovonics' IT team to focus on analytics rather than infrastructure maintenance. The NoSQL structure of Redis Enterprise provided simplicity and control over hierarchical data, while its high performance and elastic scalability were crucial for handling large volumes of data from millions of sensors. Additionally, Redis on Flash enabled cost-effective data storage and processing, and native Kubernetes support on GCP facilitated a container-centric cloud environment, further simplifying infrastructure management.
Operational Impact
  • Inovonics successfully centralized its previously siloed data, enabling advanced analytics and new product offerings.
  • The adoption of Redis Enterprise VPC on Google Cloud Platform reduced operational overhead, allowing the IT team to focus on analytics.
  • The NoSQL structure of Redis Enterprise provided simplicity and control over hierarchical data, enhancing data management.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Inovonics deployed over 10 million devices globally.
  • The company collects millions of daily messages from its sensor networks.
  • Redis on Flash reduced the need for expensive RAM by storing cold data in cost-effective Flash.
