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.
