  • Blockchain-Based Local Energy Markets
    Abstract CHRISTIDIS, KONSTANTINOS. Blockchain-Based Local Energy Markets. (Under the direction of Michael Devetsikiotis and Srdjan Lukic.) A growing customer base for solar-plus-storage at the grid edge has resulted in stronger interest at the regulatory level towards energy markets at the distribution level. Blockchains — systems that have been popularized recently by technologies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum — allow us to establish transparent marketplaces without the need for a central authority. This thesis investigates the feasibility of local energy markets (LEMs) running on blockchains, and also introduces a canonical framework for designing and evaluating blockchain-based LEMs — a first in this space. We begin by examining whether existing blockchain implementations are capable of supporting such markets. We dissect blockchains into their core components, perform an analytical survey on the space, and introduce a taxonomy for blockchain systems. Our findings suggest an impedance mismatch for our use case; we identify a number of integration issues for IoT applications, and offer workarounds where possible. Shifting back into the original goal of designing a realistic blockchain-based LEM, a common theme we find across all relevant literature is the treatment of the blockchain component as a black box. Armed with a proper understanding of the blockchain space from our earlier analysis, we make the case that this approach is flawed because the choices in this layer affect the market’s performance significantly. First, we explicitly identify the design space that the blockchain layer introduces, and analyze how the design choices made therein affect the performance, governance, and degree of decentralization of these markets.

  • Rfp Template for Selecting a Micro-Segmentation Solution
    RFP TEMPLATE FOR SELECTING A MICRO-SEGMENTATION SOLUTION This Request for Proposal template is comprised of common requirements and questions from buyers when selecting a solution for micro-segmentation. Use it to identify your solution criteria, clarify unknowns, and prioritize potential trade-offs. SECTION 1: COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT 1.01 Does the solution support workloads deployed on bare-metal (physical servers)? Are there any limitations? 1.02 Which OS platforms are supported (Windows, Linux, AIX, Solaris, etc.)? Are there any limitations? 1.03 Does the solution support workloads deployed as virtual machines on any virtualization platform or hypervisor? Which hypervisors are supported?

The cloud-native log and data analytics firm has also appointed a new CEO, from VMware’s Cloud Management business unit, in the last six months and has doubled its funding total so far with an $80m financing round. THE 451 TAKE Sumo Logic sounded bullish in our recent briefing with the firm and rightly so: it has surpassed 700 paying cus- tomers and says it is adding 120 to 150 new paying customers each quarter. Moreover it brought on a new CEO in November last year, and raised an additional $80m in funding in May this year, taking total funding to just north of $160m. It’s unquestionably a very competitive market for log and machine data analytics firms – and there are far larger competitors – but we can’t help but be impressed by Sumo Logic’s momentum in the cloud.
