Dual Path Redundancy for OT Network Applications (Why is it Important?)
Course Description:
This course explores the concept of dual path redundancy in Operational Technology (OT) networks. Participants will learn how redundant paths are designed, implemented, and maintained to ensure high availability, reliability, and safety in critical utility infrastructure. Through real-world applications, labs, and simulations, participants will gain a practical understanding of network redundancy architectures and failure mitigation techniques.
Who Should Attend:
Target Audience:
- OT/IT Network Engineers
- Automation Engineers
- Control Systems Engineers
- ICS/SCADA Specialists
- System Integrators
- Maintenance Technicians
How you will benefit:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the concept and importance of dual path redundancy in OT networks.
- Identify common failure points in OT environments.
- Compare redundancy protocols (e.g., PRP, HSR, RSTP, G.8032, Hitless Switching).
- Design and evaluate redundant network topologies.
- Implement best practices for redundancy in OT network infrastructures.
