subject: It Teams And The Industrial Computer [print this page]


When once they were the exception to the rule, the new demarcation of wealth and status, computers are now ubiquitous. Even writing that seems rather obvious and trite. They're so intrinsically part of our day-to-day lives it almost doesn't bear mentioning. But, while that may be the case for individual and private users, where the computer still draws special attention is in the business world.

Here is a fun fact: the need to build complex communication and automation protocols require dedicated IT teams. These teams, of course, have to be staffed with industrial computer experts who know how to make software and hardware platforms work in harmony. Without a viable IT team, you'll be spending more than you should on troubleshooting network and PC synchronization, system crashes, and repairs.

The pros of an in-house IT team far outweigh the cons. A number of manufacturing businesses utilize industrial mainframes to control their energy management systems, lighting systems, and monitoring systems. This means their video surveillance and security systems can be compromised without adequate supervision and care. The duties of an IT team are myriad, indeed.

It should be noted that industrial mainframes also provide both wired and wireless communication networks to validated desktops and laptops. IT specialists are thus charged with ensuring they can connect and that any interference is swiftly mitigated. Have you done the math? How much does it cost your business when you lose Internet connectivity? You may be surprised by the figure.

What about something entirely different? That is, what about maintaining mainframes that deal with unconventional facilities? What about mainframes and industrial computers that focus on monitoring roads, tunnels, and related infrastructures? These systems still have to be tended to by specialists, particularly of the IT variety. It's a safe assumption that if a business or institution is running a mainframe, it will need an IT team to maintain it.
