Seeing results today and planning ahead for tomorrow
With help from endjin and Microsoft, OceanMind has taken the first step towards a fully cloud-enabled solution: designing a blueprint for digital transformation. As of July 2020, OceanMind is already using the cloud to aid data ingestion and analysis – looking ahead, they plan on using it to power their entire solution.
OceanMind’s updated cloud-based architecture also makes it easy for them to utilize the full suite of Microsoft Azure services, including AI models, for more advanced processing capabilities. It has also greatly reduced their data processing and storage costs, as well as the time they spend on server maintenance.
With Microsoft Azure, OceanMind’s data is more secure than ever, protected by strict security boundaries, least privilege access controls, and industry-leading regulatory compliance.
Finally, the cloud offers OceanMind the scale required to fulfill their mission of tracking illegal fishing around the world in near-real-time. Before the cloud, OceanMind’s infrastructure was capable of supporting regional authorities and governments as they policed their territorial waters and economic zones, enforcing both federal and regional laws. With the cloud, OceanMind will be able to generate alerts for the entire global fishing fleet in near-real-time, totaling more than 30 million data points daily, resulting in a 200% increase in knowledge generation from their previous solution. By developing a blueprint for full-scale Microsoft Azure adoption, OceanMind and endjin have taken a key step towards making illegal fishing a thing of the past.
