Requirements for Virtualization in Next-Generation Industrial Control Systems

December 22, 2017

Many of the industrial control systems in use today were installed 30 years ago and are now becoming outdated, presenting major business challenges to industries. While the legacy infrastructure has provided a stable platform for control systems for many years, it lacks
flexibility, requires costly manual maintenance, and does not allow valuable system data to be easily accessed and analyzed, which would significantly improve operational efficiency. Virtualization overcomes the limitations of legacy control systems infrastructure and provides
the foundation for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
