The traditional approach to data management has been to have a highly centralized big iron enterprise database engine that supports myriads of security options storing sensitive data. With these enterprise engines you have your choice of authentication, permissions, encryption, and other options to secure your data. As long as you have a database administrator that understands these options and can configure them properly, not as easy as it sounds, your data can be secured. However, data is starting to emerge from the data center and make its way to the outer nodes of the network.
LocalGrid Technologies has partnered with National Instruments to develop a smart grid-ready platform that can be customized to meet the needs of different grid applications.
