Case Study: TotalEnergies increases safety and cybersecurity with Allied Telesis OT network upgrade

TotalEnergies upgrades its OT network in 2 weeks with Allied Telesis

TotalEnergies faced a challenge with aging and obsolete operational technology (OT) network infrastructure on its North Sea oil platforms. Following equipment failures and concerns over spare part availability, the legacy network posed a risk to safety, security, and efficient operations. The company commissioned an obsolescence study to find a reliable and secure replacement solution, with the project being managed by their consultant, Process Safety Solutions (PSS).

Allied Telesis provided a cost-effective, enterprise-grade network solution that offered the necessary backward compatibility to work alongside legacy systems during a staged deployment. The solution was rigorously tested beforehand and successfully installed within a tight two-week maintenance window. The new Allied Telesis network significantly increased safety and cybersecurity for the platforms' critical control systems. The project was completed on time and within budget, resulting in a highly satisfied customer.
