ABB
Cooperation with Red Hat
ABB and Red Hat cooperate to offer further scalable digital solutions for Industrial Edge and Hybrid Cloud.
ABB and Red Hat have now announced a global partnership. The goal is to To enable industries using ABB's process automation and industrial software to quickly and flexibly scale Red Hat's enterprise platforms and application services based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The partnership enables virtualization and containerization of automation software with Red Hat OpenShift. It also provides system orchestration that enables real-time, data-driven decision making at the edge and further processing in the cloud.
The Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes platform, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux as its foundation, provides ABB with a unified application platform, from small single-node systems to scaled hyperconverged clusters at the industrial edge.
Red Hat OpenShift increases the deployment flexibility and scalability of ABB Ability Edgenius, an edge platform for industrial software applications, along with ABB Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite, an enterprise-class platform and application suite that leverages industrial AI to drive digital business outcomes for customers in Industry 4.0. Both Edgenius and ABB's Genix can be scaled across multiple deployments. With this partnership, ABB gains access to features such as zero-touch provisioning (remote configuration of networks) that can improve manageability and consistency across different plant environments.
