Over two-thirds (68%) of organisations have identified sovereignty as a top IT priority for the next 18 months, with that figure rising to 80% in Germany, where it ranks as the number one strategic focus.The importance of sovereignty stems from a convergence of rising operational issues, such as supply chain instability and the threat posed by cyber attacks, and frequently

Deterministic performance: Why Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the engine for industrial edge

Red Hat News - Thu, 11/27/2025 - 08:00
In industrial environments, the drive toward smart manufacturing means blending the worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). To this point, these worlds have existed in silos—OT managing the physical, real-time control of machinery, and IT focusing on data, security, and enterprise efficiency.But today, the industrial edge depends on this convergence. This unification demands a reliable platform that provides low latency as well as predictable latency—what we call deterministic performance. Determinism means that a high-priority task, like motion control or
