Video: Accelerate the innovation cycle with virtualization

The digital transformation of substations is in full swing — but innovation cycles in grid automation are still too slow. Together with Red Hat, we explored how virtualization and open platforms empower utilities to move from device-centric to functionality-centric designs, simplify lifecycle management, and enable continuous innovation in substation environments.

Watch Anton Krupskii (Welotec) and Stefan Richter (Red Hat) as they discuss:
⚡ The shift from hardware to software-defined substations
⚙️ How IT/OT convergence enables flexibility and scalability
🔄 Lifecycle management in virtualized environments
🧠 Real-world insights and architectures from the field
