RTI introduces the Connext family of communication products, designed to bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). This integration provides real-time situational awareness and analytics, enhancing operational effectiveness while reducing costs and risks. Siemens Wind Power illustrates the benefits of this convergence by using Connext to enable intelligent communication for their wind turbines, optimizing performance and maintenance.

- 5. Business Imperative: IT/OT Convergence “The benefits that come from managing Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) convergence, alignment and integration include optimized business processes, enhanced information for better decisions, reduced costs, lower risks and shortened project timelines.” – Gartner 5
- 6. Major Benefits • Real-time situational awareness across the enterprise • Real-time analytics: Predictive maintenance, energy costs, operating efficiency, resource allocation • Asset management: where are they, how are they being used • Continuous security assessment and threat response • Holistic system-of-systems (SoS) management 6
- 7. Problem: IT and OT Face Different Realities Operational Systems IT Systems Speed “Real world” (physical processes) Human Architecture Decentralized (peer-to-peer) Centralized data center (hub and spoke) Data flow Event-driven: sensors, alarms, Transactional, non real-time commands. Extremely time critical. Platforms Tiny embedded or mobile systems Powerful servers through powerful servers Lack integration power Lack performance and scalability 7
- 8. RTI Bridges the Gap Operational Technology (OT) Information Technology (IT) (Devices & Software) (Business Applications) Extreme Performance Integration Power and Scalability Connext 8
- 9. RTI Connext Family Connext Integrator Operational Systems Information Technology (IT) Connext Connext Connext Micro DDS Messaging Connext Integrator Connext Micro • Integrates OT systems, bridges to IT • Low memory footprint for small devices • Real-time SOA platform • Certifiable to stringent safety standards Connext Messaging Connext DDS • App-to-app messaging within a system • Leading implementation of DDS standard • Ultra high performance & scalability • Foundation of Connext product line 9
- 10. Siemens Wind Power: Limited by their Infrastructure • World’s #1 wind turbine manufacturer • OT/IT needs: – Control power output – Prevent gust damage – Balance farm load – Predictive maintenance – Optimize energy pricing – Very large scale • Farms can be 500 turbines • About 1m real-time data points • No technology could deliver performance, scale, and integration power 10
- 11. Siemens Wind Power: Connext in Action Siemens relies on RTI to… • Ensure turbines intelligently communicate with networks and IT systems • Enable real-time performance and distributed operational control • Integrate business systems to maximize efficiency and detect maintenance problems RTI melds distributed performance with IT business intelligence 11
- 12. Takeaways • IT/OT integration is a business imperative – Real-time intelligence – Optimize resources & decisions • RTI’s Connext uniquely addresses this convergence – Edge-to-enterprise real-time data availability – High-performance, scalable • RTI solution leverages proven operational technology – Hundreds of mission-critical applications – Siemens demonstrates how RTI merges IT/OT News embargoed until Feb 13th, 2012 12
