Innovyze Brings Dynamic Digital Twins to the Water Industry Using Rackspace Technology IoT and Cloud Native Development Capab...

Rackspace Technology® (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end
multicloud technology solutions company, today announced it has
provided Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Native Development
capabilities to Innovyze, the global leader in water software
solutions. Rackspace Technology helped Innovyze extend its software
offerings on AWS, providing customers real-time monitoring and data
intelligence through IoT and cloud-powered simulations.
Innovyze’s industry-leading software empowers thousands of water
utilities around the world. Historically a desktop product business
with on-premises software, Innovyze wanted to address the real-time
operational needs of utilities by extending the capabilities of
their offerings through a cloud-based platform. They were looking
for an equally skilled partner to work hand-in-hand with their
teams to help them hit aggressive timelines. The company turned to
the cloud native development team at Rackspace Technology to help
them deliver their new SaaS solution, Info360.com.
A primary goal for Innovyze was to enable an industry first for
water, Dynamic Digital Twins, a virtual representation of water
utility assets that is continuously updated with all known data
about the — past, present, and future — incorporating cutting-edge
technologies like predictive analytics and artificial intelligence
tuned specifically for the water lifecycle.
“By moving simulation features of our modeling into the cloud,
we can leverage that horsepower for really complex models,
performing multiple parallel simulations for different scenarios
like weather changes, flood prediction, and the like,” said Rick
Gruenhagen, CTO of Innovyze. “The ability to use real-time data to
develop Dynamic Digital Twins that are more accurate in
representing conditions today and predicting conditions in the
future is huge.”
By working with Rackspace Technology on extending its product
offerings onto a common platform on AWS and leveraging cloud-native
technologies, Innovyze was able to introduce Info360.com—a
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that supports real-world
water lifecycle management. The SaaS implementation of Info360.com
offers several advantages to utilities in the areas of easy
on-boarding, infinite scalability and rigorous security “out of the
box.” In addition, Dynamic Digital Twins are now accessible to
every water utility, without the need to invest in expensive IT
infrastructure, maintain complex software, or hire hordes of
digital consultants to use them.
“Working with Rackspace Technology helped our team achieve our
goals on an immense project on a tight timeline. Our utility
customers vary widely in size and infrastructure, and Rackspace
Technology has helped us deliver a highly sophisticated platform
where we can seamlessly onboard new customers and lower the barrier
to entry for new municipalities,” said Gruenhagen. “Our customers
can use real-time data to improve the accuracy of their models,
which is a huge accomplishment in the water industry. The
cloud-based approach reduces operational overhead for clients and
gives Innovyze the freedom to continue innovating and leading the
industry.”
The new platform, built with serverless and microservices
technologies, enables Innovyze customers to transfer their asset
network information to the cloud and leverage geospatial mapping
functionalities for their site modeling. Rackspace Technology
facilitated data transfer through a cross-platform edge solution,
powered by Amazon Greengrass and Docker images. This functionality
allows Innovyze customers to install the software in their existing
IT environment.
“The Info360 Dynamic Digital Twin solution is a revolution for
the water industry,” said Amir Kashani, VP, Cloud Native
Development & IoT Solutions at Rackspace Technology. “Innovyze
knew that cloud native services were the best path forward and that
partnering with Rackspace Technology would accelerate their team’s
goal of building a SaaS platform that realizes their vision of
serving the entire water cycle, from cloud to ocean.”
