Distributed Network Architecture

The OAS Platform supports flexible deployment across a range of industrial automation networks. You can configure OAS Servers for on-premise edge computing, cloud-based data aggregation, or a hybrid IIoT network architecture. No matter your needs, OAS helps you design a custom ICS network that offers high performance, reliability, and security.

Key Features & Benefits

Zero Data Loss

OAS queues every data point and confirms delivery for each client, even during network failures. That means full store-and-forward functionality for Data Logging and Alarm Logging, so your ICS network never misses a beat.

Speed And Security

Server-to-server communications use an extremely lightweight protocol, all while encrypting data packets for over-the-wire security.

Infinite Configurations

OAS Servers can be configured in infinite ways to share and aggregate data, including the option for one-way transport to prevent external systems from impacting the source.

Multiple Networking Options

Basic Networking

Reference remote data over fixed IPs or domains with the speed and security you’d expect from a modern ICS network.

Live Data Cloud

Communicate with edge devices behind secure networks without the need for fixed IPs, creating a private network between OAS Servers.

Unidirectional Networking

Our one-way (read-only) data transfer setup makes sure your source data stays untouched. This is a must-have for secure industrial control systems networks.

OAS Distributed Network Architecture beats typical Cloud Architectures

When it comes to networking, your typical IoT cloud architectures are simply not up to the task. Only Open Automation Software's Distributed Network Architecture allows you to host your own live data with no data loss on network failure.r own live data with no data loss on network failure.

Common Questions

Can edge data be accessed from a central server?

Yes, by deploying a lightweight OAS server on edge devices, they can aggregate data to a central OAS server where clients can connect or where HMIs can be driven. This can even be achieved with edge devices on secured networks without a fixed IP address using the OAS Live Data Cloud feature.

How can device data be secured on a public network?

OAS has several levels of security with authentication and authorization, but for the most secure data, you can ensure read-only access using the Unidirectional Networking configuration, also referred to as a data diode. Read-only data is sent to public-facing devices with no possibility of altering the source data.

Can network configurations be customized? 

You can mix and match any of the supported networking configurations and use-cases. For example, you can set up a central data aggregation server in the cloud to drive enterprise-wide user interfaces. But you can also create site-specific networks with secured data only available on-premise. Our platform was built for flexible industrial automation networks.
