Choosing an SD-WAN Solution for Operational Technology Environments: 5 Requisite Capabilities
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
