“I’ve never worked for a place this nice and giving. It was surprising to see how you are supported, not because they have to, but because they want to.”

“I’ve never worked for a place this nice and giving. It was surprising to see how you are supported, not because they have to, but because they want to.”
“After my time as a co-op, I realized there is so much you can only learn by working in the industry. There was a lot that I took back with me to school. I had a better sense of what I wanted to do, and I could tailor the rest of my coursework to fit that.”
“The variety of clients and industries we serve allows you to see different processes and materials and how actual engineering principles apply to them.”
“Champion really cares about your professional and technical growth, and they give you the opportunities to develop that.”
“At Champion, you are on a team with your coworkers, not competing against them. You’re always collaborating, getting help from other people, and learning from more experienced people.”
“As a co-op, I’ve been given the space and support to learn. People here are nice and willing to help. I know my team is always going to be there.”
Industrial data centers (IDCs) are specialized, integrated systems that combine computing and network infrastructure, storage solutions, and power management with OT software and data management tools. They provide a highly secure and scalable environment for data storage, processing, and analysis, empowering industries to derive valuable insights and drive innovation.
Integration of OT and IT Systems: IDCs often house systems that bridge the gap between operational technology (OT), such as sensors, control systems, and machinery, and information technology (IT) systems, enabling real-time data collection, processing, and decision-making.
Real-Time Data Processing: Industrial environments often generate vast amounts of data in real-time. IDCs are designed to handle and process this data efficiently, ensuring timely insights for process optimization, predictive maintenance, and system reliability.
High Availability and Reliability: Given the mission-critical nature of industrial operations, IDCs are built to provide high levels of uptime and redundancy to avoid disruptions that could lead to costly downtime in production processes.
Edge Computing Capabilities: Industrial Data Centers often incorporate edge computing to process data closer to the source, reducing latency and enabling quicker decision-making, especially in scenarios where immediate responses are needed, such as in automated production lines or power grids.
Support for Industry 4.0 Technologies: As companies adopt Industry 4.0 technologies like IoT, AI, and machine learning, IDCs play a vital role in storing and processing the data these technologies generate to drive smart manufacturing and automation.
IDCs deliver the critical infrastructure needed to support digital transformation and digitalization initiatives, enabling industries to maximize the value of their existing systems and assets.
By ensuring high availability, security, and scalability, IDCs empower industrial facilities to optimize processes, reduce downtime, and harness data-driven insights to drive innovation and remain competitive in an increasingly connected and data-centric world.

A well-planned DR plan can mitigate the impact of disruptions, protect critical assets, and ensuring business continuity in the wake of a catastrophic event¬¬. However, simply having a plan on paper is not enough. To ensure your DR plan’s effectiveness, it must be tested, regularly maintained, and integrated into your organization's overall risk management strategy.
Regular reviews ensure the DR plan is comprehensive, accurate, and in alignment with the organization’s operations and technology. Further, it can illuminate potential gaps or areas for improvement. Methods include:
Verification is the process of testing the backup and recovery systems to ensure functionality is as intended. Elements include:
Ensure that all relevant personnel, from front-line OT operators to IT staff, are thoroughly trained on their roles and responsibilities in the event of a disaster. This includes understanding the DR plan, knowing how to activate it, and being familiar with the procedures for recovering critical systems and functions.
A robust Disaster Recovery strategy is not a luxury but a necessity. Remember: it’s not if, but when.
From maintaining safe operations to safeguarding your organization’s reputation to mitigating overall impact, the testing and verification of DR plans is essential to ensure your organization is prepared for challenges that will arise.
