For the past 30+ years, we have developed an extensive portfolio of products designed for the harsh operating requirements of OT networks. However, as network security threats continue to rise, we have combined our OT expertise with IT level security features within our leading product lines. This has resulted in a comprehensive OT security connectivity portfolio. See below to understand how we have incorporated expansive security features across our products to keep your networks not only connected, but secure . 

Every network application is unique depending on environment, scale and budget. However, 
there can be similarities in design across all of these. Check out the following example that illustrates how our eco-system of connectivity solutions can transform a factory/plant into something that's Smart, Efficient and Secure. 

If you’re considering managed switches for your application, then most likely your network requires flexibility and features around high-performance, network management, enhanced cybersecurity efforts and network redundancy.

Maintaining high availability is a priority in industrial networks, so preventing every single point of failure is key. Network failures can lead to quality issues, a decrease in production, and possible safety hazards. This is where network redundancy plays a critical role. Traditional redundancy technology can take seconds to recover from a fault; this can impact the recovery of critical segments of your production floor. Moxa offers two different options to help with seamless recovery for mission-critical applications. Moxa’s Turbo Ring technology allows networks to recover within 20ms* with up to 250 nodes. For applications that already have a redundant ring technology, but need to add segments with recovery times in the milliseconds, Moxa’s Turbo Chain offers unlimited redundant network expansion with under 20ms recovery times. Both of these technologies take only seconds to set up and deliver seamless recovery with zero data loss. The EDS-500E series switches can also have their configuration files backed up and saved for fast and easy restoration in the event of misconfiguration or catastrophic events*.
*Note: 10G/1G Ethernet recovery time < 50 ms

To help future proof your investment in a managed switch, it is important to consider the amount of throughput you will need to access the data from your devices. Not just for today, but also for any future high bandwidth devices like cameras for vision systems. Gigabit uplink ports offer you the bandwidth and high throughput necessary to ensure you have the performance to meet the demands of your growing network needs. Having visibility into your network is key in being able to keep your mission critical networks running smoothly. The EDS-500E series of fully managed switches support many network visualization features: Topology View (network topology), Traffic View (network traffic stats & traffic visualization), & Security View (security auditing & security settings visualization).
