We are proud today to launch the industry's first insight-as-a-service solution, unlocking the economics, scale, speed and flexibility of the cloud to help customers improve their business operations," said Scott Lang, Chairman, President and CEO of Silver Spring Networks. "With SilverLink cloud services our customers gain a new and unprecedented opportunity to leverage real-time operational insights to continually improve the performance and efficiency of their business." "To get the most from our smart grid deployment, we must deliver real-time operational information in front of many different internal organizations as quickly as possible," said Michael Kuberski, Manager Enterprise Architecture at Pepco Holdings. "This data is critical to helping us improve grid performance and reliability for our customers. SilverLink helps us accelerate that process and gain these insights more cost effectively. By offering this unique insight-as-a-service offering, Silver Spring has developed a solution to help manage our smart grid." Available to customers via subscription, SilverLink cloud services initially include: -SilverLink Console: Delivers real-time application and field network monitoring, alerts, and performance data.

Real-time sending of traps, combined with on-demand data for network performance, enriches the effectiveness of systems such as 'manager of managers.'
