Upgrade of the core Integration Bus in Energy Operator

Large scale upgrading project in large Energy operator

the Problem

  • No high availability architecture

  • High MTTR

  • Performance issues

  • Use of old and unsupported versions

  • Low performance of gateway components

  • High support cost of custom gateway application

  • The need of integration applications migration

KPI Before

  • Low gateway performance (messages per sec)

  • Low high availability of integration platform

  • Low SLA for platform and services

  • High MTTR (Mean time to repair)

Technology applied:


IBM WMB 8.0

IBM Integration Bus v 10 MQ 9.1

IBM Cognos

IBM Data Power

The implemented Solution

  • High availability architecture for integration platform deployed

  • High-performance gateway solution based on IBM Datapower Appliance

  • Integration services migrated to new and supported integration platform

  • Updated service logging and monitoring, dedicated service usage reports on IBM Cognos Analytics

  • Monitoring all integration platform components with IBM Tivoli Monitoring

  • Architecture solution allowing upgrades and service updates with Zero DownTime

KPI After

  • Higher services traffic and platform status awareness

  • Higher gateway performance (messages per sec)

  • High integration platform availability

  • High resilience for single component failures

  • Zero DownTime possibility for updates and service updates

  • Higher SLA for platform and services
