In this episode of UAO Goes Live, Penguin Solutions explains how fault‑tolerant and high‑availability compute platforms help run UAO technology at scale on the edge.The discussion covers ZTC Edge for rugged environments and ZTC Endurance for dense workloads, the difference between high availability and fault tolerance, and per‑VM protection choices.You will hear how virtualization with Penguin Solutions Redundant Linux, APIs for orchestration, predictive monitoring, and automatic “reduplexing” support zero‑touch operations and rapid recovery—without interrupting control applications.The result is interoperable, portable, hardware‑independent automation that advances Open Software Defined Automation and IT/OT convergence.About UniversalAutomation.org (UAO)UniversalAutomation.org (UAO) is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to transforming industrial automation through open standards and shared source technology. The association manages the reference implementation of a shared runtime execution engine based on the IEC 61499 standard, enabling true interoperability between hardware from multiple vendors and portability of automation software applications.By providing a ready-to-use, vendor-neutral runtime environment, UniversalAutomation.org empowers companies to build flexible Industry 4.0 architectures, accelerate digital transformation, and maximize return on investment (ROI) through software reusability and hardware independence.The development of this runtime is governed by shared source principles, ensuring long-term compatibility and collaborative innovation. Members—including end users, OEMs, system integrators, and technology vendors—work collectively to create a global ecosystem for plug-and-produce automation solutions.UniversalAutomation.org is growing rapidly as more organizations adopt open automation to overcome vendor lock-in, enable IT/OT convergence, and support greenfield and brownfield projects. Academic institutions are also leveraging this technology to train the next generation of automation engineers.Companies and institutions that want to lead the future of industrial automation, develop next-generation control systems, and participate in a global open automation community are invited to join UniversalAutomation.org.Hosted on Ausha.
