RTI webinar replays offer deep dives into the issues and solutions for integrating real-time systems.
Learn how to design and implement next-generation industrial automation systems with RTI.
Builders of large-scale industrial automation systems must focus on several key system design requirements in order to implement robust distributed systems – Architecture, Interoperability, Scalability, and Performance. OPC-UA provides a solution for addressing Interoperability for heterogeneous distributed systems from the network edge to the business enterprise.
The standards-based RTI Connext product line extends the capabilities of OPC-UA, and other industrial automation standards, to address flexible system architectures and performance at scale. The RTI DataBus is a data super highway or data backbone for your distributed systems to provide architecture flexibility (publish/subscribe, client/server, request/reply patterns as well as flat, hierarchical, federated topologies) and performance at scale (microsecond latencies, millions of messages/sec with 10M+ individual data points).

Suppliers of C4I, C2, Cyber, ISR and sensor and weapons platforms are challenged to meet commercial pressure from defense procurement for more capability at lower cost, and from acquisition officials for increasing interoperability across their combat systems in order to be able to enable new system capability through Information Dominance (ID).
RTI will present an architecture and its Connext solution, designed to meet these twin imperatives. Built upon proven open technology, Connext is a foundational system architecture that delivers significant productivity gains in integration, while also enabling discovery and rapid assimilation of existing system entities, potentially from 3rd party suppliers or already deployed in the field of operation.
Given the unique requirements of tactical system-of-systems, the architecture must support both real-time combat systems as well as brigade and command HQ enterprise style systems, bringing them together in a scalable, dynamic, and flexible framework. Connext addresses the performance and scale impedance mismatch between these disparate systems types, and delivers the ability to develop a common infrastructure that runs over DIL (Disconnected Intermittent Loss) communications as well as it does over Ethernet, putting minimal strain on the communications interfaces and maximizing information exchange.
The Connext foundation is in use in over 400 defense programs globally with over 350,000 licensed deployments. It has been approved by the US DoD to TRL9 (Technology Readiness Level).
Attend this webinar to see why this technology is already mandated in multiple defense programs worldwide, and to understand why building interoperability into your systems architecture will enhance your position in future defense program bids.

As Operational Technologies (OT) like embedded devices, control and monitoring systems are increasingly integrated with Information Technology (IT) systems running in the back office, interaction patterns between systems are becoming more complex and diverse. Publish-Subscribe is the most commonly used messaging pattern for OT systems. It provides the real-time information access, scalability, and loose coupling required for integration of these types of systems. IT and OT integration, however, commonly requires messaging patterns that provide stronger end-to-end properties, such as Guaranteed Delivery, Request-Reply, and (load-balancing) Queues. RTI is greatly enhancing its infrastructure software with new messaging patterns that combine the performance, scalability, and reliability needed by OT systems with the integration and flexible messaging capabilities of IT systems.

The world of enterprise infrastructure software is undergoing dramatic change. Driven by the need to improve efficiencies and optimize their businesses, companies that operate large, physical systems (sometimes called operational systems) at the operational edge are actively working to merge those systems with their IT business applications. Because enterprise and operational systems are designed around very different architectures, integrating these worlds into a coherent system-of-systems is a sobering technical challenge. For example, a typical industrial automation system might generate 10's of millions of discrete data points; how does the operational infrastructure move a dynamically changing subset of interest to the IT system's enterprise service bus without overwhelming the ESB and associated system resources?
To meet the challenge, RTI has introduced RTI Connext, a next-generation software infrastructure that fully supports the business objective of integrating IT and OT (operational technology) systems. Based on the RTI DataBus™ which has been designed into hundreds of high-performance, distributed systems, RTI Connext combines the performance, scalability, and reliability needed by operational systems with the integration and flexible messaging capabilities of IT systems. Connext is the first edge-to-enterprise real-time SOA platform.

Over the last few years there has been a subtle but important shift in the way government procurement is taking place. In an effort to reduce through-life maintenance and modification costs, government organizations are looking to specify the architecture used across a multitude of systems. By specifying an architecture based on open standards and a data-centric method of communication, interoperability across a range of systems, sub-systems and system-of-systems becomes more straight forward, while simultaneously reducing upgrade and maintenance costs.

Deployment of sensors, smart devices and mobile computing is exploding. As a result, an enterprise's most valuable information no longer lives in a centralized data center or cloud: it is produced and consumed at the network edge. In this highly distributed environment, publish/subscribe messaging provides the ideal substrate for information dissemination. By decoupling data producers and consumers, it simplifies application development and systems integration.
RTI's pub/sub software is uniquely suited to edge-to-enterprise messaging. It delivers extremely high performance, supports highly autonomous and dynamic systems, does not require centralized servers or system administration, and efficiently communicates over unreliable and low-bandwidth networks.

Large-scale distributed system applications are experiencing an explosion in the number of connected sensors, devices, systems and subsystems. Program managers, system architects and system engineers must understand and adopt better technologies, architectures and integration techniques to meet growing system integration complexity and performance requirements.
Leveraging Data Distribution Service (DDS), RTI addresses these challenges by allowing next generation network architectures.based on replicated data publish/subscribe. This paradigm eases integration of large heterogeneous systems while at the same time maintaining system scalability, throughput and latency. SCADA and DCS systems will be used as examples, but the discussion will also apply to other large-scale distributed system applications.

The time and cost required to integrate tactical applications like combat, unmanned and ISR systems is traditionally much higher than for conventional enterprise applications. This is because custom integration approaches have been required to satisfy their demanding performance, reliability and resource requirements. As a result, as systems evolve, they become increasingly stovepipe, brittle and expensive to maintain.
This presentation will introduce a next-generation, Open Architecture approach to real-time application integration. It will review how the leading real-time integration standard, the Object Management Group's Data Distribution Service (DDS), can be used in conjunction with enterprise technologies like Web services and the Java Message Service to extend the benefits of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to real-time systems. This dramatically reduces the time and cost required to integrate tactical systems with each other, with C2 systems and with the GIG.
