As battery technology continues to evolve, so does the need for secure, reliable IT infrastructure that can support specialized testing, data management, and analysis requirements. At P20Inc., we’ve made it our mission to empower companies in the battery technology and energy storage industries through tailored Managed IT and Cyber Security services.
Expertise with Industry-Specific Tools and Systems
Battery technology companies rely on complex tools and systems to drive innovation, which brings unique IT challenges. Over the years, P20Inc. has built extensive expertise in deploying and supporting specialized software like Arbin, Neware, Energsoft, and ThermoFisher. Our team provides hands-on support for configuring databases, setting up software, and ensuring seamless server operations, all crucial for companies focused on battery testing and design.
We’ve also helped clients secure pivotal contracts by guiding them through rigorous security audits, ensuring compliance with industry standards such as North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP). Our industry knowledge allows us to step into these roles quickly, whether it’s setting up test environments, managing data pipelines, or configuring secure storage and network systems that protect sensitive information and valuable test data.
Addressing Pain Points in Battery Testing and Data Management
Battery technology labs face specific operational challenges, from managing access permissions to stabilizing data storage environments. Our approach is designed to directly address these needs by:
- Setting up Secure Test Environments: We help establish isolated network segments that safely connect test environments to corporate or production IT systems without compromising security.
- Managing Data Pipelines: Using tools like Energsoft and Robocopy, we set up data delivery systems that aggregate test data and support high-frequency data collection.
- Ensuring Reliable System Performance: We provide expertise in configuring and upgrading equipment, optimizing performance, and addressing system stability impacted by environmental factors like fluctuating power usage or variable memory needs.
In addition, our work in access control management extends to providing secure remote access and real-time permissions management, which allows clients to focus on research and testing without worrying about data integrity.
Setting Up Virtualized Testing Environments for Increased Flexibility
In one recent project, we helped a client set up a new beta test environment in their lab using virtualized servers, leveraging Hyper-V and Microsoft solutions to support multiple virtual machines (VMs). Each VM was configured to run different critical software, including Arbin, Neware, Maccor, and custom lab software, optimizing the use of resources and improving flexibility for future scaling. The virtual environment enables the company to experiment with various test setups in a controlled environment, a valuable advantage in the rapidly advancing field of battery technology.
Our support extended beyond setup: we assisted with choosing the right hardware, managing virtual storage, and recommending best practices for backups, helping the client feel comfortable and secure with the virtualization setup.
