How can highly critical industrial systems be operated securely, available and future-proof in cloud environments? Lars Neumann (Senior Vice President T Cloud) and Christian Kalt (Head of IT at Schottel GmbH) use the example of maritime propulsion systems at Schottel GmbH to show the role that digitalization plays in this industry and why the move to a cloud-based data center is strategically crucial. The focus will be on how data sovereignty, connectivity and innovative strength can be reconciled with modern cloud architectures. The talk will provide practical insights into rollout and migration, highlight sustainability aspects and venture a look at the future of networked drive systems.
