Unlocking Efficiency with EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment of OSDU® Data Platform for Non-Production

In the fast-paced world of data management and information technology, efficiency is key. The OSDU® Data Platform has made a significant leap forward with 1-click deployment through EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment and Microsoft Azure, designing a pathway for organizations to streamline their operations and enhance productivity. EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment is designed for non-production environments.

What is the OSDU® Forum?

The OSDU® Forum is an open-source initiative developed to facilitate better data management within the upstream oil and gas sector. It allows organizations to enhance collaboration, significantly improve data accessibility, and drive innovation by integrating and analyzing subsurface data seamlessly.

The Need for Speed

Traditionally, deploying the OSDU® Data Platform has been a daunting task, often requiring extensive technical resources and time. The complexity of configuring environments, managing infrastructure, and integrating various systems could lead to project delays and increased costs.

Recognizing this challenge, the introduction of EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment aims to simplify the process for non-production instances, allowing teams to focus more on developing data products rather than technical hurdles. While it can technically be utilized for production, it is not recommended due to its design focus on cost, time, and automation efficiency, which may not meet the stringent requirements of "production" readiness, including aspects like high availability, disaster recovery, security, and performance.

Key Features of EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment

1. Simplicity: With just one click, organizations can deploy the OSDU® Data Platform. This ease of use radically reduces the complexity often associated with data deployment projects.

2. Speed: The deployment process is expedited, enabling users to get from start to operation in just a fraction of the time traditionally required.

3. Standardization: By automating the deployment process, EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment ensures a consistent and standardized environment that minimizes human error and enhances reliability.

4. Cloud Integration: Designed to operate seamlessly with your Azure tenant, the 1-click deployment allows organizations to leverage Azure’s flexibility and power without the headaches of manual setup.

5. Flexibility: Deployed on organization’s Azure tenant which allows complete control of the deployment instance.

Benefits of EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment

1. Cost Savings: EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment is FREE to use, cloud costs still apply. Additionally, it drastically reduces the time and resources needed for deployment, organizations can divert their budget to other critical areas.

2. Enhanced Collaboration: With a streamlined deployment, teams can quickly access and share data, fostering better collaboration across departments.

3. Early Access: EPAM’s Express Energy Deployment provides early access to milestone releases and experimental services.

4. Faster Time to Value: Organizations can begin deriving value from their data almost immediately, leading to improved decision-making and operational efficiency.
