Rockwell Automation Meets the Evolving Needs of OT Environments with Enhanced Industrial Data Centers

The newest generation of Industrial Data Centers (IDC) offers a flexible, scalable compute solution for medium-to-large sized businesses interested in streamlined data collection and storage, with a goal of plant floor virtualization. IDC Gen 5.0 now offers on-cloud backup through Veeam Software, reduced server footprint, improved physical security, and an industrial-rated design geared toward harsh environments.

Manufacturers need a way to securely collect and store critical data but may lack the skillset to deploy and maintain the necessary technology. Rockwell Automation operational technology (OT) managed services can help ease the load of data center management, allowing in-house engineering and information technology (IT) teams to focus on other high-priority business objectives. IDC Gen 5.0, paired with Rockwell Automation OT managed services, provides access to industry-leading expertise and enables manufacturers to achieve lower cost of ownership, increased productivity and ease of management.
