Case Study on Pegasus RDS™ Technology
Microsoft creates case studies
in order to demonstrate how their products and services can help businesses succeed.
PegasusRDS™ was developed and deployed using the Microsoft Application Platform, which
helped reduce development time and virtually eliminate ongoing maintenance. The success of
Pegasus RDS™ provides a great example of how Microsoft technologies enable outstanding results.
Summary
Entergy, a Fortune 500 company with 14,300 employees, produces and delivers electric power to
2.7 million customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The company has captured
trillions of records from its supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and its
more than 320,000 SCADA objects. To better extract value from SCADA data, the utility deployed
a real-time data storage application, called Pegasus RDS™, which was created by Microsoft®
partner Nobadeer Software, Inc. using the Microsoft Application Platform, including Microsoft
SQL Server® and Microsoft Visual Studio®. The solution, which manages trillions of records,
will soon be upgraded to SQL Server 2008. Pegasus RDS gives Entergy numerous benefits including
a better view into its data which helps the utility to identify potential problems early so it
can act proactively to protect its electrical grid.
