Multi-plant connectivity · Evaluation

Evaluate multi-plant connectivity against agreed evidence.

Two plants, one shared data-center or cloud service, and a representative vWAN topology across diverse transports.

Fabric Connectivity

Evaluation plan

Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.

Establish consistent, protected connectivity across plants and shared services without requiring one carrier or cloud architecture.

01

Select the operational scope

Two plants, one shared data-center or cloud service, and a representative vWAN topology across diverse transports.

02

Verify the technical path

Have representatives from enterprise network architecture, plant network teams, cloud networking, OT security review the architecture path and policy boundaries.

03

Review the decision evidence

Determine whether required plant-to-service and plant-to-plant relationships can be established with controlled segmentation and path resilience.

Acceptance criteria

Define success with observable evidence and a decision.

Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.

01

The evaluation includes two plants, one shared data-center or cloud service, and a representative vWAN topology across diverse transports.

02

Enterprise-network, plant-network, cloud-networking, and OT-security owners confirm required service relationships and segmentation boundaries.

03

The team records Endlet admission, vWAN routes, service reachability, segmentation, path health, topology changes, and revocation.

04

The results show whether required plant-to-service and plant-to-plant relationships operate with the agreed segmentation and path controls.

Operational outcome

Establish consistent, protected connectivity across plants and shared services without requiring one carrier or cloud architecture.

Evaluation scope

Two plants, one shared data-center or cloud service, and a representative vWAN topology across diverse transports.

Decision

Determine whether required plant-to-service and plant-to-plant relationships can be established with controlled segmentation and path resilience.
