Operational technology (OT) industries are rapidly undergoing digital transformation just like other organizations.
However, the nature of OT environments means they will require security and networking features that IT-only
environments may not. Locations may be remote and/or require equipment that can stand up to unusual environmental
conditions. Nonetheless, distributed OT assets need to be connected to the enterprise in a safe, reliable, and cost-
effective manner.
With a software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) solution designed for OT, organizations can achieve:
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
- More reliable connectivity and better user experience
- Reduced complexity and improved efficiency
- Increased bandwidth
