挑战
该公司依赖于经验丰富的计费代理、客户经理和行政专家的专业知识，他们的主要工具是一个基于 Microsoft Access、Exchange 电子邮件的庞大客户数据库，以及通过传真或蜗牛发送的纸质发票的不合时宜但有效的使用邮件。
这个过程一直很有效，直到 Irene 明确表示，如果 Diesel Direct 总公司停电，将无法每天快速发送大量发票。如果没有这一点，他们的现金流状况将很快受到很大影响。
他们的客户。配送公司的车队经理很快了解 Diesel Direct 如何通过让他们以每加仑燃料多出几美分来换取让他们自己的人员处理加油和维护和报告的 FTE 成本以及拥有卡车在他们做的时候离开公路。 Diesel Direct 的服务允许他们跳过大部分内容。该模型不需要大量技术，但如果 Diesel Direct 的最小 IT 基础设施长时间处于离线状态，那么 Diesel Direct 将无法完成任何工作。

关于客户
去年 8 月飓风艾琳袭击马萨诸塞州东部时，道路上满是断树和倒塌的电线，导致许多人停电一个多星期。当卡车运输和建筑企业 Diesel Direct 受到此次停电的影响时，其创始人寻求替代计划以在这种情况下保持业务活动。他在云端找到了答案。
Diesel Direct 燃料和服务卡车在全国范围内为大到两大软饮料分销商之一和小到当地货运公司的客户提供服务。它的工人——他们这么早就在卡车车队的停车场进进出出，即使是黎明时分的装载机和司机有时也看不到他们在给卡车喂食——他们使用手持扫描仪记录他们为每辆卡车提供了多少燃料和服务，然后将该数据上传到 Diesel Direct，然后 Diesel Direct 可以在当天发送工作发票。
解决方案
Diesel Direct 聘请了 Virtustream，因为它需要的三个类别（私有云、虚拟私有云和公共云）中的每一个都有可用的替代方案。
Diesel Direct 聘请 Virtustream 托管其数据和略微升级的软件版本，以便员工可以在同一个办公室使用他们一直拥有的相同界面和工作流程工作。唯一的区别是数据和应用程序都位于华盛顿特区以外的数据中心，并复制到另一个数据中心。
从运营 IT 的角度来看，与 Virtustream 签约的最大好处是 Virtustream 允许其客户快速、可重复地更改容量。 Diesel Direct 的业务是“突飞猛进”的——一天到一天翻倍或三倍，随着发票的流动而变化。
Virtustream 的服务合同允许 Diesel Direct 设置一个相对较高的平均基线，然后根据需要随时更改其最高容量需求限制——如果这对客户有效，则可以每天更改。添加容量就像更改配置屏幕一样简单；当尖峰消失时减少容量也是如此。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
