Navigate the challenges of IT and OT convergence

Capitalize on the convergence of IT and OT to build smart solutions from the data center to the intelligent edge.

From IoT to Intelligent Edge: the next wave of innovation

The Internet of Things has proven the value of having smart devices at the edges of the network. Equipping devices with sensors and actuators, and collecting and analyzing the data they generate, has opened up huge realms of opportunity.

Now information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) are converging to generate and process data anywhere: from the data center to the intelligent edge.

Arrow combines decades of experience, expertise and industry partnerships in both IT and OT to help you design, build and commercialise new solutions for the Intelligent Edge.

A global partner for the key challenges of IT/OT convergence
