Adopting open-source Industrial IoT software

Nov 1, 2023 By Edoardo Barbieri In Canonical
The industrial automation landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by a fundamental shift in how software solutions are developed and deployed. In the past, many factories had in-house IT expertise to build and maintain their basic software stacks, the present reality is quite different. Small-scale factories often lack the IT know-how to manage their increasingly complex digital infrastructure, and they often rely on contractors to set up and maintain their systems.

Oct 19, 2023 By Philip Williams In Canonical
Storage and container management systems are almost polar opposites of each other. One deals with permanently storing, and protecting data for as long as it’s needed. The other automatically manages highly dynamic workloads, scaling resources up and down as required. More organisations are taking a container-first approach to application deployment and management, but the underlying challenge of safely and securely storing data still remains the same.
