DN2K has raised $1.5 million from a group of private investors to help with the company’s growth and expansion into global oil and gas, agriculture, smart grid, and electric power industries.
The money was supplied by a group of North American investors that support investments into supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), smart grid, M2M, industrial, and security companies. DN2K reports it has developed a state-of-the-art software system “that can help government agencies, utilities, oil and gas producers, farmers and industrial operators securely monitor and control remotely-located critical assets from different manufacturers entirely from desk and laptop computers or mobile devices over the Internet.”
Jerry Buckwalter, a participant in the National Infrastructure Advisory Council’s (NIAC) report on Critical Infrastructure Resilience, says, “Cooperation between the public and private sectors to monitor and control critical infrastructure assets is vital to our national security. Solutions like those from DN2K could play a key role in the secure management of these assets and services, especially in sectors such as transportation, energy and water.”
The DN2K solution provides utilities with one view of all disparate data inputs including distribution automation, smart meters, and communications.
Susan Lambert, DN2K president and chief operations officer, adds: “We are thrilled to have additional funding for DN2K from a savvy group of investors. Our Software-as-a-Service model, combined with our on-site intelligent gateway, is proving to be a great solution for industrial customers interested in increased efficiency in their operations. It’s very powerful to enable customers to see and manage their entire worldwide operations in a single graphical view combined with the ability to view individual components with only a few mouse-clicks.”
