<p>A remote asset server allows an industrial asset (e.g., a controller, motor drive, etc.) to be remotely and securely monitored and managed by an owner of the industrial asset as well as other relevant entities, such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The remote asset server acts as a network infrastructure device that regulates access to the industrial asset by different entities in accordance with security policies defined by an end user. These defined security policies are implemented in a cloud platform as role-specific portals by a connectivity broker, the portals serving as secure connection pipelines to the industrial asset via the remote asset server. Using this architecture, an end user can define which aspects of an industrial asset are allowed to be remotely viewed, accessed, or modified by outside entities such as OEMs or system integrators.</p> |
