In this session, we introduce you to the application of Intel and Amazon technologies in building smart home solutions benefiting both consumers and power utilities. We cover the opportunities and challenges associated with balancing savvy consumers and energy supply and demand amidst the increasing deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs). Learn about valuable use cases and a multi-tenant services architecture that supports distributed analytic workloads and services from the edge to the cloud. Come and learn how to start applying these joint technologies to create new possibilities with advanced energy management, control, and monetization. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Intel.
