XDI provides the data integration capabilities to:
With digital transformation, data is more central and vital, and its management is becoming increasingly complex. Data is everywhere within the utility and often housed in different spreadsheets, databases and devices. To bring data together for real-time analytics and decision making, utilities need to create a fully integrated and sharable data source.
Data integration eliminates data silos, simplifies the number of connections between data sources, and manages the conversion of data between formats to ensure that the right data is always available as a single source of truth.
Cross Data Integrator combines the benefits and efficiencies of a data pipeline and manager with the trusted validation of a data warehouse. Using active metadata, semantics and machine learning capabilities, XDI creates a fully integrated and shareable data resource between utility departments and business units to enable faster access and improved decision making.
Cross Data Integrator’s Data Manager connects and transforms data from databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets, and other data sources into a unified structure for consumption or storage.
Key Data Management features:
Cross Data Integrator employs an elastically scalable architecture that can handle large volumes of data, perform complex operations to multiple types of data, and provide detailed business and process insights at near real-time.
A centralized data archival and storage solution that eliminates data silos, centralizes the data, and makes it available for use across the organization as THE single trusted location for all information.
Key Data Warehouse features include:
One type of data structure doesn’t fit all needs of data Business Intelligence applications, so the XDI Data Warehouse was designed to support multiple structures, including SQL, NoSQL, Time Series, and Graph.
Structured Query Language is a database format where the data is stored in tables, and relationships exist between the data (i.e., relational database). Data is a predefined schema that is suitable for complex queries.
A distributed database structure where data is stored in documents and doesn’t have relationships between the data. Data schemas are dynamic, enabling support for hierarchical data storage.
A time series database (TSDB) is ideal for data that is time-stamped, making it easy to analyze and identify changes over time.
An asset compliant transactional database where data is stored as a graph. Graph theory is used to store, map, or search relationships and is an ideal structure for businesses with complex relationships or dynamic schema.
Cross Data Integrator [XDI] is part of the 3Insys Integration Suite and was designed as a modular solution to address the data integration requirements for utilities and Smart Cities. XDI can be used as a standalone product or can integrate seamlessly with both Cross System Integrator [XSI] and Cross Security Manager [XSM] to deliver a complete end-to-end integration solution.
