“Systems Integrators Take Advantage of Faster Commissioning and Long-Term Network Reliability”
This white paper presents an analysis of several key factors SIs must consider for robustly, securely, and rapidly deploying reliable networks at their end-user clients’ facilities.
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial monitoring and control landscape, systems integrators (SIs) bear a great responsibility for meeting their end-user clients’ expectations of highly available and reliable control networks, designed to operate for years. With the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) data, modern industrial networking frameworks are more complex than ever, and SIs must configure secure hardware devices, along with appropriate management software. Furthermore, these networks must be deployed quickly and efficiently to optimize capital improvement efforts and minimize costs.
We explore topics including basic network needs, resiliency, configuration, security, visibility, and hardware considerations that contribute to efficient commissioning, while focusing especially on advanced tools built into Moxa switching and routing products. These components, like Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain, improve network reliability, enhancing industrial network commissioning and ongoing operation.
