Infrastructure Resilience Workshop
Course Description
This technical workshop introduces participants to the principles of High Availability (HA) and Fault Tolerance (FT) in edge environments. It focuses on both solutions and their key differences and applications but also aids in understanding how Fortinet and Penguin Solutions can integrate to deliver continuous uptime, operational resilience, and secure edge computing for industrial and critical infrastructure environments.
Led by experienced instructors, this hands-on session bridges IT and OT disciplines to help engineers design, deploy, and maintain self-healing systems that ensure zero downtime operations.
Participants will explore both theoretical and practical components, from HA configuration and cluster synchronisation in Fortinet FortiGate to automated failover and self-healing infrastructure using Penguin Solutions Stratus platforms.
