Why to Consider Virtualization

Virtualization overcomes key limitations of legacy control systems and provides the foundation for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Control functions that were previously implemented in dedicated hardware can be virtualized and consolidated onto commodity off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, which not only leverages the most advanced silicon technology, but also reduces capital expenditure, lowers operating costs and maximizes efficiency. These business benefits apply to a variety of industrial sectors including energy, healthcare, smart buildings and manufacturing.

You will also see a demonstration of the features of Wind River’s market leading virtualization platform, Titanium Control and show how it meets these requirements. Titanium Control is a secure, on-premise cloud infrastructure platform that ensures the uptime and performance needed for industrial control systems at any scale.
