Monitoring converged industrial IT infrastructure
Summary
This is the “traditional” infrastructure that you’d find in any IT environment, and consists of routers, servers, storage, switches, domain controllers, and other hardware and software required for communicating data. This means that devices that were previously isolated– take the programmable logic controllers, for example – now need to connect to data collection systems. All of this has resulted in industrial edge devices becoming data aggregation points that are connected to various systems, and thus a key part of a solution to monitor the infrastructure. Gartner describes them as “IoT gateways” and this is their definition: The role of these edge devices and gateways makes them a vital part of a monitoring strategy. They need to instantly see if there is a problem with an industrial control system, like an IPC: health statistics such as RAID, storage, CPU usage and fan rotation are metrics that can help avoid stoppages to production.
