You are right, this is a concern for some of our customers. We had talks about self-hosted solutions, but so far no customers required it. There a several reasons for this:
- We host data on AWS on data centers in appropriate regions for each customer (read: in their own country, or a nearby one). AWS compliance programs also help a lot in building credibility: https://aws.amazon.com/fr/compliance/programs/ https://aws.amazon.com/fr/compliance/programs/
- We use solutions such as https://www.sqreen.io/ https://www.sqreen.io/ to add additional layers of security on our infrastructure
- Having data on our side allows to retrain neural networks more effectively, which gives them great value that would be more difficult to get with on-premise deployments. We are looking into edge computing and training however.
- So far we perform visual inspection of publicly visible assets. We do not host any data that would not be visible to anyone looking up to overhead lines in the countryside. This might also change in the future, and the amount of data we gather is also a concern, even if it is public.
In the end, we take this topic very seriously, and if you have any additional info on easy ways to deploy with trusted entities in various geographical areas, I would be happy to hear your experience about that!
- semi-extrinsic 8y agoI think the amount of data is the main concern, yes. For Europe, you probably want to follow closely the new “EU DSO Entity” which is to be formed following the new Electricity Regulation, it's an entity intended to enhance cooperation between Distribution System Operators. One doesn't know if it will be just a paper tiger, though.
