Int3s Partners with Red Hat to Power Toronto Hydro's Innovative Smart Meter Program Built on JBoss Enterprise Middleware Nov 11, 2009 08:16AM

Largest Municipal Electric Distribution Utility in Canada Deploys JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform to Eliminate Proprietary Lock-in and Cut Costs

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, and Red Hat Advanced Business Partner, Int3s, today announced that Toronto Hydro Corporation has deployed JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the platform for its innovative Smart Meter program and has successfully completed the initial phases of its program to create a customer-focused cost and energy-saving initiative.

Toronto Hydro is the largest municipal electric distribution utility in Canada and operates two wholly owned affiliates with a combined workforce of over 1,400 people. It serves 697,000 residential and commercial customers across the greater Toronto Area, representing 18.5% of electricity consumers in the province of Ontario.

"We've succeeded because of the combination of the leadership of Toronto Hydro, the innovation of Red Hat products, and the expertise of Int3s in integrating systems. Together they allowed us to leverage the power of JBoss and really make the technology work for us," said Eduardo Bresani, Vice President of IT and Chief Information Officer, Toronto Hydro.

Toronto Hydro identified the need for a five-year strategic technology initiative, with the goal to implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to replace the organization's traditional IT infrastructure. A key business driver for the change was the firm's stretched IT resources. Specifically, building and maintaining point-to-point interfaces between all the various systems Toronto Hydro had put into place over the years - legacy as well as client-server and Web-based systems - was proving too complex and costly.

The new SOA implementation began as part of Toronto Hydro's innovative "Smart Meter" initiative, which aims to utilize the SOA platform to introduce variable pricing based on the time of day that electricity is consumed and to price it accordingly to encourage customers to conserve during periods of high demand. Although Toronto Hydro is not the largest utility in North America, it currently has the largest production deployment of smart meters on the continent, which stands at over 600,000.

Toronto Hydro's technology strategy required experienced resources to supplement internal staff in delivering complex custom development projects and they partnered with Int3s, a Red Hat Advanced Business Partner, to help implement JBoss Enterprise SOA platform, including JBoss ESB. Int3s was chosen due to the firm's experience in designing, developing and implementing IT solutions for energy and utility, financial, and telecommunications organizations.

Toronto Hydro and Int3s selected JBoss Enterprise Middleware for the Smart Meter program due to the size and stability of the technology and the toolsets that JBoss provided, including JBoss Hibernate, Rules, and jBPM Frameworks, to simplify the migration from Mule to the JBoss platform.

"We didn't want to be dependent on proprietary products for our SOA framework. JBoss Enterprise Middleware provides a solution that works with other products as long as they meet open standards," said Bresani. "Red Hat doesn't charge for the product itself, but for the support - and we valued the enterprise level support that JBoss provides. With open source, we could avoid proprietary technology lock-in, and standardize everything related to business logic, business processes, and data models."

"JBoss technology comes with everything we need to build a solid SOA for facilitating easy integration of disparate systems and data. It was the perfect solution to meet our current needs - and we trust Red Hat to meet our future ones," said Nicholas Yee, Chief Technology Officer at Int3s.

Since the initial Smart Meter implementation, Int3s has expanded the use of the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform at Toronto Hydro in multiple projects including the development of an ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) framework for a new Enterprise Data Warehouse and integration to various applications. The SOA Platform has also simplified large system implementations such as Oracle's Customer Information System and SAP for the purpose of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) compliance.

"The support provided by Red Hat has been superb. As an Advanced Business Partner, we've had terrific access to some of the best development professionals at JBoss," said Yee. "Not only were they very responsive when we called, but they asked for our input regarding functionality that we would be looking for in future releases of the platform."

DADCO to Display 24kW HMI Type Discharge Light at LDI Orlando Nov. 17-21 Nov 11, 2009 08:16AM

SUN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- DADCO, manufacturer of the Sunray line of HMI type discharge lighting fixtures for motion picture and television, introduced two new 24kW discharge light fixtures, the groundbreaking Challenger and the G4 in September 2009. Both the industry-leading 24kW Challenger and the G4 are designed with a host of advanced features, including a unique cost-effective convertibility feature allowing the fixture to readily operate as either a 12, 18 or 24kW light. Both fixtures will be on display at LDI 2009 in Orlando November 17-21.

The "Challenger" and the "G4" 24kW lights are the first single source discharge lights that outperform the famous D/C powered carbon burning arcs, once the staple of the motion picture industry. For more than thirty years attempts have been made to perfect a single source fresnel light that would match the output of the carbon burning arc. The Challenger and G4 meet the challenge, producing 30% more light output than the 18kW discharge light. Both models are E.T.L. listed to U.L. standards and built by highly trained I.A.T.S.E.-Local 728 union craftsmen.

DADCO/Sunray manufacturing is offering special pricing on the 24kW Discharge light at LDI. For a limited time on a limited quantity of systems, a complete 24kW Discharge system, including 24kW fixture, globe, ballast and cable set, will be priced at $24K - 24 units only. Offer is valid through December 31, 2009 and FINANCING is available.

DADCO, in addition to the Sunray product line, manufactures a line of specialty lighting fixtures and A/C power distribution systems for motion picture, television and theatrical events.

DADCO services all Sunray lighting fixtures, its proprietary incandescent lighting, and its power distribution systems. DADCO's Rental Division offers its complete line of proprietary products, cabling and a fleet of state-of-the-art regulatory-compliant Biodiesel Portable Power Generators. Visit the website (http://www.dadcopowerandlights.com) for details.

Dahlquist has been a leading innovator of lighting and power distribution systems in motion picture and television lighting. He is a long-time member of I.A.T.S.E.-Local 728, former Chief of the Set Lighting Department at PARAMOUNT STUDIOS, and formerly President of KEYLITE PRODUCTION SERVICES, a leading independent lighting company in motion picture and television .

Statement From ANGA Chairman David Trice Regarding IEA's Latest World Energy Outlook Nov 11, 2009 08:16AM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) Chairman David Trice issued the following statement regarding the release of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World Energy Outlook touting the game-changing role natural gas will play in North America and potentially the world as we work to meet carbon reduction goals:

"America's Natural Gas Alliance wholeheartedly agrees with the World Energy Outlook's assessment that natural gas is abundant in North America and new supplies have significantly transformed the gas-market outlook. It also echoes our sentiment that America must change its energy course today. This is not only an urgent issue domestically, but internationally, and America can significantly reduce her carbon emissions now by increasing the use of clean, abundant, American natural gas.

"Natural gas is 50 percent cleaner than coal, supports nearly three million U.S. jobs right now, and will create many more jobs in the future as more unconventional gas resources are developed. As Congress debates energy and climate legislation, any bill aiming to curb carbon emissions must encourage the use of clean, homegrown natural gas."

For more information, please contact the ANGA media team at info@anga.us or (202) 944-1920.

America's Natural Gas Alliance (ANGA) represents 28 of the nation's leading independent natural gas exploration and production companies. ANGA members are dedicated to increasing the appreciation of the environmental, economic and national security benefits of clean, abundant, American natural gas. Learn more about ANGA at www.anga.us.
