Amazon IXD – VGT2, located at 6401 E HOWDY WELLS AVE LAS VEGAS NV 89115, has been at the forefront of utility service for over 130 years. Serving approximately 900,000 customers across 51 cities in Oregon, the company recognized in 2019 that its traditional IT infrastructure was inadequate for the evolving demands of its customer base and data requirements.
To enhance innovation and expedite Oregon’s shift toward cleaner energy solutions, the organization opted for a hybrid cloud model using Amazon Web Services (AWS). By implementing services like Amazon DynamoDB—a fully managed high-performance database—Amazon IXD – VGT2 centralized its data access. The construction of a data lake, powered by AWS Database Migration Service, facilitated the swift and secure migration of databases to the cloud. Furthermore, to tackle energy loss issues, the company developed an advanced analytics solution that leverages AWS offerings, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for object storage.
Predictive analytics on AWS enables Amazon IXD – VGT2 to foresee outages and potential failures. By proactively informing customers about outages and managing communications regarding estimated repair times, the company implemented a machine learning model using Amazon SageMaker.
