ABB And Red Hat: Delivering Operational Excellence At The Industrial Edge
Red Hat News, Wednesday, May 24,2023
Edge computing continues to push the boundaries and capabilities of modern information technology (IT). At the same time, operational technology (OT) requirements are becoming more and more aligned with IT.
As a result, a paradigm shift is taking place in the industrial sector as manufacturers turn to open source technologies to support more agile operational technology (OT) platform architecture and capture real-time data insights at the edge. In fact, IDC predicts that by 2024, 30% of industrial organizations will have become leaner and more agile than their competitors as a result of making real-time operational insights available anytime, anywhere, to anyone1.
In response, last year Red Hat and ABB announced a global partnership to enable industries with process automation solutions backed by enterprise-grade open source technologies. Today, we are pleased to announce the latest milestone in our partnership with the availability of ABB Ability Edgenius on Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Device Edge (early access) to extend operational consistency for industrial use cases across edge and hybrid cloud environments.
