The only closed firewall solution for process data networking

The data hub use the protocol DHCP to make connections only at the plant or process outlet. This keeps all incoming firewall ports closed, supports DMZs and forward proxies, and requires no VPN to provide secure OT and IT dataflow.

  • No exposure of the plant network: No VPN means no extension of the plant safety network. Works great inside network proxies, data proxies and DMZ servers.
  • No IT network disruption: Read-only options and non-intrusive connectivity ensure that the plant remains secure and functional, even if access to remote data is degraded or a remote location is compromised.
  • No access beyond the requested data: The plant decides which data to make available remotely.
  • No compromise on performance: Real-time data is delivered in microseconds above network latency, easily scaling to over 50.000 data point changes per second, all while preserving the data model across networks.
  • One-way or two-way data flow: Each connection can be configured as read-only or read-write, to support data monitoring or supervisory control.
  • Design security: Thanks to the publish and subscribe architecture of the DataHub program, security is integrated and always controlled by the system network.
Secure system to the cloud

The unique ability of the DataHub DHTP protocol to connect only out of the plant and from an intervening DMZ can be leveraged to provide secure monitoring and supervisory control from the cloud.

  • Secure access to plant data: Using a DataHub instance inside a DMZ means that there are no inbound firewall ports on either the plant network or the cloud. The DataHub instance on the plant network provides an outbound connection to the DMZ, and the DataHub instance on the DMZ uses an outbound MQTT connection to send data to the cloud.
  • One-way or two-way data flow: Each connection can be configured as read-only or read-write, to support data monitoring or supervisory control.
  • Simple connections to popular cloud services: Out-of-box support for Azure IoT Hub, Google IoT, and Amazon IoT Core. It also connects to any MQTT broker like RabbitMQ or Mosquitto.
  • SkkyHub connections: Full integration with SkkyNet's SkkyHub cloud service and IBRESS. Performing plant-to-cloud and cloud-to-cloud connections.
