Platforms
• Operational
- Freedom to deploy devices
when and where they want
without asking permission from
IT
- They want their own Eth
network for traffic segregation
(quality/integrity)
- Seamless endpoint connectivity
• Technical requirements
- L2 broadcast
- Fixed IP addressing / VLAN
• Digital Security
- Prevent inappropriate endpoint
access
- Concern with compliance
This new state of the art
automation lab is essential
for multiple discipline and
can be used in many PHD
