FAQ
Mission-critical operations require very high availability (>99.99%) and resiliency especially for worker safety or real-time machine control applications that cannot be fulfilled by normal IT service levels, especially when processed externally in the cloud. Beyond that the availability and reliability of remote cloud-based solutions are heavily dependent on the quality and the capacity of the internet link.
Answer:
Our Nokia MX Industrial Edge on-premises solution can work even without the availability of an internet link as all business and mission critical processing occurs on-site. Public internet connectivity disruptions do not impact mission critical data processing.
Our solution can be made even more resilient deployed with geo-redundant architecture for disaster recovery.
Mission-critical operations - like worker safety or real-time machine control - require very low latency (>10ms). In case of remote cloud-based processing the geographical distance increases latency (every 100km distance adds 1 ms), while network service reliability diminishes.
Answer:
Our MXIE on-premises edge solution processes all data locally - eliminating latency and reliability degradations to meet the requirements of mission critical operations. This true real-time control increases productivity and reduces waste.
In my current environment I’m collecting data from diverse, siloed IIoT systems and I need to manage complexity relating to different industrial protocols and data processing applications.
Answer:
Our Nokia MXIE on-premises edge solution simplifies IIoT use-case integration and unifies industrial workloads with "click-to-deploy" applications. Edge orchestration tools offer simplicity through automated application lifecycle management and ensure new security, stability and feature updates are deployed to the platform.
Industrial data analytics solutions often run in the remote cloud - so my sensitive OT data is carried over the internet and processed in a remote compute facility – beyond my control.
Answer:
By deploying edge compute physically on-premises, sensitive OT data never leaves the site, but instead is securely processed on-premises.
OT vendors often create edge solutions that don’t support ecosystem neutrality meaning only applications from the system vendor can be deployed. Because of this lock-in solutions from other vendors can’t be used.
Answer:
Our Nokia MXIE on-premises edge solution supports ecosystem neutrality enabling the deployment of a wide ecosystem of applications in several categories from various vendors.
Most industrial sites are brownfield environments with multiple legacy systems from multiple vendors using bespoke ad-hoc processing units (PC, PLC).
Answer:
Our MXIE on-premises edge solution offers a range of click-to-deploy applications allowing our customers to benefit from protocol translation. With partner applications like Crosser or Litmus, data from different sources can be collected, standardized and analyzed.
