인더스트리 4.0에 전용 클라우드 인프라가 필요한 이유

This IDC Perspective explores why the Industry 4.0 digital transformation of the industrial world requires dedicated, private cloud infrastructure. While public cloud services offer broad reach and cost benefits, the unique requirements of industrial environments make private cloud solutions necessary for many organizations working in sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, construction, mining, agriculture, and warehousing. Essential requirements such as real-time processing, data sovereignty, operational technology (OT)/IT integration, operational resilience, and edge computing can only be provided by dedicated cloud infrastructure running near the industrial activity."The heavy use of operational technology combined with real-time control systems and immense data gravity makes private clouds uniquely suited for Industry 4.0 scenarios," explains Rob Tiffany, research director, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services at IDC.
