Six Reasons Power Leaders
Are Moving to Cloud

GE Power

With the advent of the Industrial Internet come the challenges of

scale and speed. Scale is required to consolidate and manage massive
volumes and varieties of dynamic and time-series machine data.
Speed is needed to leverage this data with analytics in real-time. The
imperative for industrial IOT is a secured environment with capacity
to grow at the speed of machine data and the technical infrastructure
to apply sophisticated analytics that drive insights for more profitable
business decisions for industrial companies.
Consumer, enterprise and industrial
companies are turning to cloud computing
as a means to solve for speed and scale
and to lay the groundwork for competitive
advantage in the future.
According to Gartner, the uptake in the use
of cloud services is accelerating rapidly.
Gartner forecasts that total annual spending
on public cloud services will nearly double
within four years from $152 billion at yearend 2014 to over $282 billion in 2018.1
According to the International Data
Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly
Cloud IT Infrastructure Tracker, for the
five-year forecast period, IDC expects
that cloud IT infrastructure spending will
grow at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 15.1% and will reach $53.1 billion
by 2019 accounting for 46% of the total
spending on enterprise IT infrastructure. At
the same time, spending on non-cloud IT
infrastructure will decline at -1.7% CAGR.3
Power generation companies, in
particular, are poised to drive operational
transformations with the Industrial
Internet. They are examining ways to reduce
operating costs, leverage insights for greater
production consistency and to create a
market advantage using Big Data and
analytics. In a recent global survey of senior
executives from power generation

these leaders identified cloud as a key
component of their Big Data analytics
approach for the future.
This strategy, with its clear endorsement of
cloud technologies for future deployments,
also indicated that different cloud models
are being applied, between public and
private, with a slight preference for private
cloud by power companies (as shown on
the right).
Due to regional data privacy considerations,
many Industrial IOT projects will begin with a
hybrid approach of on-premise and private
cloud implementations. For these companies,
as in-region public cloud capabilities are
available, operations and IT staff will be able
to identify areas that should be migrated to a
public cloud environment to gain economies
of scale and speed.

Six Reasons for Cloud Adoption

As the Industrial Internet gains momentum
across power companies, it is clear there is
significant business value from collecting
machine data for insights into assets and
operations. Doing this at massive scale
dictates a new operating environment in the
cloud with capacity to deliver the right levels
of storage and computing power. There are
six key advantages that leading Industrial
companies are gaining by leveraging cloud
infrastructure:

Power Executives Highlight Urgency 4

93% 31% 50%

Put Big Data

analytics in
top 3 Priorities

1. Speed to Implementation and

Innovation: The ability to rapidly

A standardized approach for

applications development, creating
more rapid deployments as
development teams use the same
environment and take advantage
of cloud-based microservices
(see page 4).
The ability for self-service so that
application teams can provision new
environments for development/
testing and speed time to market.
Additional services and applications
to be built by third parties, delivering
new capabilities from an industrywide ecosystem.

According to Gartner
Analyst David Mitchell
Smith, To date, there
have been very few
security breaches in the
public cloud most
breaches continue to
involve on-premises data
center environments.5
The Cloud Advantage

Urgency driven
by Board of
Directors

With this sense of urgency, the cloud approach is a key enabler to

achieve objectives around Big Data and analytics.

develop and deploy means a competitive

edge and the ability to speed business
benefits. Cloud architecture delivers
this with:
A ready platform for deployment,
without delays of on-premise design,
procurement, setup, testing and
production hardening.

Make it their
#1 Priority

2. End-to-End Security: Industrial

companies need assurance that their
critical data assets are protected and
overall risk reduced. Although dependent
on the particular provider (See Predix
Cloud, page 6), security in the cloud can
be especially robust for the following
reasons:
Cloud providers make investments
in security software, capabilities,
processes and personnel that are
leveraged across multiple customers,
raising the overall security profile.
With cloud the direction for IOT
processing, cloud providers are
attracting and securing key security
talent wishing to work where the
security market is trending.
Reduced variation in a cloud
environment means that strict
security software and standards
can be implemented and enforced
across the entire system, unlike onpremise solutions, which can occupy
various solution architectures. This
simplification and visibility can lock
down security holes while keeping
flexibility of system administration
required for specific domain
ownership.

3. Lower Costs: Traditional approaches

to systems implementations require
IT teams to purchase and configure
hardware with large up-front capital
outlays. For the industrial IOT space,
this can be especially challenging as
the volume of machine sensor data can
scale rapidly as new operating assets
are connected for monitoring. Further,
support requirements for on-site
infrastructure can be costly, especially
for multi-site implementations. Moving
to cloud offers significant savings
by reducing:
Initial capital outlay for a large scale
Big Data platform, with associated
design efforts, hardware costs, load
balancing, networking and backup
environments.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for
support and maintenance of largescale IOT environments, including
personnel for 24x7 IT support,
license fees, security personnel,
administrators and supervisory
support.
Opportunity Costs, from being able to
reinvest IT costs in other areas of the
business, especially for large-scale
IOT implementations.

Security updates can be rapidly

pushed in a cloud environment for
continuous deployment of the latest
security patches and fixes.

4. Ability to Scale: Many industrial

companies have collected machine data
using on-site historian environments.
However, with advances in data storage
capabilities, sensor technologies, analytic
data science and networking capacity,
the possibilities with industrial IOT are
expanding at a rapid pace a pace that
on-premise systems will be challenged to
match. With the cloud service delivery
model, customers can specify the
right amount of compute and platform
resources they need today, and scale up
and down rapidly and cost-effectively,
as their requirements change. This is
needed as new data-producing sensors
are added to operating environments and
operations are transformed to leverage
insights from this data. The ability to add
capacity on-demand, means reduced
interruption in service and benefits as
industrial companies scale out their
monitoring operations to be crossenterprise and global.

5. Ubiquitous and Global Visibility:

One of the key requirements of an
Industrial Internet platform is its ability
to support a global model so that data
can be aggregated and analyzed across
operating geographies in order to enable
quick actions and business optimizations.
In the GE/Accenture survey of power
generation executives, 31% cited the
issue of consolidating disparate data
as a barrier to adopting data analytics.
Further, 50% stated that they lacked
the talent to consolidate and interpret
disparate data. The ability to consolidate
data to the cloud and provide visibility
across multiple physical locations is of
particular use to power companies to:

6. Failure Isolation with

Microservices: Cloud-based
microservices are reusable software
modules that can be leveraged as
building blocks to rapidly create
applications. Because they are developed
and delivered as discrete services,
they can be loosely-coupled into
applications without the complexity and
dependencies of traditional, monolithic
application architectures. And because
microservices can be developed as
separate, stand-alone components, the
microservices architecture provides a
level of isolation, enabling small teams
of developers to deliver new capabilities
and to version existing services such
as Connectivity, Asset, Field Agent,
Time-Series incrementally, enabling
much faster innovation than traditional
approaches.

Evaluate, in real-time, the

performance of each plant to assess
their ability to meet market demands.
Understand where vulnerabilities
exist for power short-falls and
outages before they become real
production problems and potentially
shift capabilities to other locations.
Provide visibility to power production
KPIs, financial/cost analysis and
capital planning data across locations
for stronger bottom line results.

In a recent paper around cloudnative applications, author Matt Stine

states: By composing systems from
microservices, we can limit the scope of
a failure in any one microservice to just
that microservice, but only if combined
with fault tolerance. Its not enough to
decompose a system into independently
deployable components; we must
also prevent a failure in one of those
components from causing a cascading
failure across its possibly many transitive
dependencies. 6

Our cloud architecture supports customers varying degrees of

opportunities to be found in the Industrial Internet, from capturing and
analyzing time series data generated by the multiple sensors on a gas
turbine, to delivering large object data like a 3D MRI image to a doctor for
diagnosis. If you have really important things generating a variety of
big data at velocity, we can help manage it, demystify it and turn it into
actionable insight.

Predix A Secure Cloud Infrastructure

PredixTM cloud delivers a unique approach
to industrial data security. GE has invested
in building an end-to-end industrial cloud
infrastructure in secured data centers
including both hardware and software. With
Predix cloud, customer production data is
not shared by other cloud services. Instead,
all Predix cloud data is handled exclusively
in a managed community cloud. This cloud
space is a complete, end-to-end hardware
and software environment, built exclusively
for industry, and managed by GE to meet
the demanding requirements of industrial
businesses.

This model of a managed community

cloud offers the best of both security and
functionality.
Predix cloud has security embedded at every
level of the cloud stack. This specialized
approach offers industrial-grade security.
Every layer is monitored and scanned
for vulnerabilities. Predix cloud features
network-level security sniffing and traffic
management far beyond anything available
in the public, commercial cloud marketplace.
Capabilities such as two-party encryption,
support for end-to-end chain of custody
reporting for code and data, a 24/7 security
operations center provide a level of security
and governance that would be out of reach
for most one-off corporate data centers.

Built by industry for industry to run industrial

workloads unlike traditional public cloud
services, which are open to any individual
or organization, Predix is based on a gated
community model to ensure that tenants of
the cloud belong to the industrial ecosystem
reducing the risk of bad actors entering
the community. Support for various data
governance, federation and privacy needs
are included as well as stringent security
requirements such as perimeter security,
data security, access control and data
visibility.

Governance and Certification to Secure

Operational Infrastructure
Governance & Certification
In addition to security, Predix cloud
prioritizes regulatory compliance and
data governance. Predix has adopted ISO
27001 / 27002 based Information Security
Management System and Cloud Security
Alliance based Common Controls Matrix
(CSA-CCM) for building a security governance
and controls framework. This will help
support more than 60 regulatory and
compliance frameworks. The structure of
a managed community cloud allows GE to
meet stringent regulatory requirements in
ways that IT-focused public clouds cannot.
With Predix cloud, GE is accountable for
the safeguarding of Industrial Internet
informationmanaging OT data, customer
SLAs, security, support and export controls.
CSA / CCM 3.01

The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) is specifically designed to provide fundamental security
principles to guide cloud vendors and to assist prospective cloud customers in assessing the overall security
risk of a cloud provider (GE Digital - Predix PaaS). The CCM provides a controls framework that gives detailed
understanding of security concepts and principles that are aligned to the Cloud Security Alliance guidance in 16
domains. CCM also provides a customized relationship to other industry-accepted security standards, regulations,
and controls frameworks such as the ISO 27001/27002, ISACA COBIT, PCI, NIST, PCI and NERC CIP.

ISO 27001 / 27002

Developed by the International Service Organization for Standards (ISO), this specifies the requirements for
establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving information security within the organization.
Once certification is attained, it provides users of the service comfort that security standards are being followed,
thereby reducing time and resources needed to address customer-mandated audits/reviews.

SOC 2 Type 1

Developed by The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a Service Organization Control
(SOC) report provides insight on internal controls and risks to Users for services provided by a third party service
organization (GE Digital - Predix PaaS). SOC Type 1 reports is point in time assessment and reports on fairness of
managements description on the processes and design of the controls.

SOC 2 Type 2

Developed by AICPA, a Service Organization Control (SOC) report provides insight on internal controls and risks
to Users for services provided by a third party service organization (GE Digital - Predix PaaS). SOC Type 2 reports
on fairness of managements description on the processes and design of the controls (test of effectiveness of
controls) throughout a specified period.

FedRAMP

Administered by US General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment,
authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Once certified, it would provide
government agencies greater confidence in using the GE Digital - Predix PaaS.

HIPAA

Enforced by The Office for Civil Rights, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects the
privacy of individually identifiable health information. This certification would provide Predix customers that store
and manage patient health information greater confidence in using the GE Digital - Predix PaaS.

Export Controls / ITAR

The U.S. government regulates the transfer of information, commodities, technology, and software considered to
be strategically important to the U.S. in the interest of national security, economic and/or foreign policy concerns.
Non-compliance with export controls can result in severe monetary and criminal penalties on both an individual
and corporations, including the loss of government contracts and inability to export items.

PCI

Compliance with the Payment Card Industrys Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), means that your systems are
secure, and customers can trust the service provider with their sensitive payment card information.

Predix Machine:
Integrating On-Premise Needs with Cloud Computing
The vision of the Industrial Internet is to
connect brilliant machines, analytics and
people in a way that enables both asset
and operations optimization with benefits
ranging from improved fuel utilization to
pushing the performance of individual assets
through predictive analytics that can learn
how equipment degrades more accurately.
Due to the demands of storage and compute
requirements, most of this will occur in
the cloud.
However, there are control systems and
software required to be on-premise to
consolidate data with machine sensors and

actuators, orchestrate machine applications,

prepare data transmission to the cloud and
execute edge analytics that are extremely
time sensitive and require immediate
response. The primary responsibility
of Predix Machine is to provide secure,
bi-directional connectivity to and
management of industrial assets (GE or
Non-GE), while also enabling applications
(analytical and operational services) at the
operations site. The latter is particularly
important for delivering near-real-time
processing in controlled environments.
Predix Machine can make equipment or
devices more intelligent software-defined
machines, enabling a new generation of
smarter, more connected products.

Predix Machine also provides security,

authentication, and governance services
for endpoint devices. This allows security
profiles to be audited and managed centrally
across devices, ensuring that assets are
connected, controlled, and managed in a
safe and secure manner, and that critical
data is protected and readily available for
audit purposes.
This hybrid environment, on-premise
integrated with cloud with a variety of data
collection mechanisms (see below), makes
it possible to create a new, different type
of operating environment where hardware,
communications, configuration tools
and user experiences can be seamlessly
interconnected to build a full range of system
capabilities for greatest business benefit.
