Join me on a live broadcast - 21 April - 15:20 until 15:50 Centralizing OT Workloads in a Hyperconverged iDMZ https://lnkd.in/exSa8a6T What if modernizing OT infrastructure is not a technology challenge at all, but a trust challenge? Across many industrial organizations, we see the same tension. IT looks at OT environments and sees fragmentation, technical debt, and a need for standardization. OT looks at IT and sees risk: change, abstraction, and loss of control close to the process. When that gap is approached without trust, modernization turns into a horror story. IT believes it can simply extend enterprise standards into OT. OT experiences disruption, unexpected behavior, and loss of predictability. Nobody wins. In this session, we take a different perspective. We explore how you can centralize OT workloads such as SCADA, MES, and Historians into a hyperconverged industrial DMZ, without crossing the one line that OT will not tolerate: loss of operational control. Using a modern OT Datacenter as the foundation, combined with Azure Local, we show how hyperconverged infrastructure can act as a neutral zone between IT and OT. Not as an IT takeover, but as a shared platform built on stability, predictability, and clear boundaries. This is not about lifting and shifting workloads blindly. It is about relocating them with respect for the OT operating model, functional segregation, and industrial reality. Compute, storage, security, and governance are centralized, while behavior remains deterministic and controllable. The result is a place where IT gains manageability and lifecycle discipline, OT keeps autonomy and trust, and the business gains a platform that is ready for the next decade. If you believe that OT modernization only works when IT and OT trust each other, this session is for you. Axians NL Actemium Nederland Actemium Axians Axians Germany Manufacturing
