Why Compute at the Edge is Critical for IIoT
As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to gain momentum, the demand for compute power at the edge is growing rapidly. From real-time data analysis to predictive maintenance, IIoT applications require computing power close to the edge to deliver results in a timely and efficient manner. This is where the concept of "compute at the edge" comes into play, and Microsoft offers hybrid solutions that address these needs.
The Convergence of IT/OT
As Industrial IoT (IIoT) becomes more prevalent in industrial operations, the traditional separation of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is rapidly disappearing. The Purdue Model, which separates IT and OT networks into different levels for security reasons, is no longer sufficient in the age of Industry 4.0. Instead, a new approach is needed that leverages the best of both worlds to enable efficient, secure, and scalable IIoT operations. This is where Microsoft Hybrid solutions and Azure Cloud come into play.
The Art of Collaborating with Machines
Collaboration has always been a crucial aspect of successful businesses. In today's fast-paced digital world, collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Asana are essential to streamlining workflows and ensuring effective communication among teams. But what if we could collaborate not just with our human colleagues, but also with machines?
