Industrial IT

Digital Transformation is the driving force requiring Industrial and Enterprise Networks to connect. Data is flowing to and from the factory floor and can be contextualized to enable more effective business processes and decision making. Unfortunately, this exposes Industrial Systems not designed for the threat world of the Enterprise Network. Industrial Systems have typically been developed with either high availability in mind, or they have been ad-hoc and evolved without a plan. Neither solution considered how to provide the connectivity Industry requires today. We at EOSYS want to help you assess your existing network and put a plan together to help you support your Digital Transformation goals.

As an experienced Systems Integrator, EOSYS understands the demands and risks unique to Industrial Networks.

From Level 0 and Level 1 I/O networks through the Enterprise Network, EOSYS has the experience and trained resources to help you deploy the secure, robust, and validated solution that is right for your operation.

EOSYS has provided a wide array of services in the Industrial Control System Networking and Virtualization space.

The EOSYS team has the experience to deliver solutions from conception to commissioning. Our competencies include:

  • Network assessment and architecting against known best practices including CISCO/Rockwell’s CPwE Design and Implementation Guide and customers’ identified standards
  • Reducing cost and improving reliability through the use of virtualization and terminal services on an Industrial Data Center
  • Migration path development that minimizes downtime
