Red Hat Powers Up To Help Drive The Future Of Energy Grid Modernization
Red Hat News, Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024
Utilities face challenges in substation automation and power grid management due to the limited flexibility and scalability of customized hardware. Shifting to software-defined systems enables real-time reconfigurability and cost savings by removing the need for physical hardware changes.
To fully unlock these benefits, collaboration between traditional suppliers and integrators is essential for driving future platform innovation.
As utilities adopt a software-defined infrastructure, unifying IT and OT ecosystems becomes increasingly feasible. By virtualizing applications and taking advantage of advancements in edge computing platforms and AI, utilities can modernize infrastructure and create more agile, software-defined environments that improve everything from operational efficiency to smart grid responsiveness.
