In today’s volatile market, transportation leaders face an unprecedented combination of challenges. On one side, a global NAND and DRAM shortage is driving unpredictable price spikes and supply chain gridlock. On the other, leaders must manage aging infrastructure, ensure 24/7 traveler safety and modernize for an AI-driven future.
For the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT), the answer wasn't to "buy more boxes" and hope for the best. It was a fundamental shift in architecture.
Join this webinar, featuring ARDOT IT Infrastructure Manager Eric Simpson, for a transparent look at how ARDOT transformed a legacy, siloed environment into one of the most reliable transportation infrastructures in the country. We will dive into the enterprise data cloud model that allowed ARDOT to achieve a 4-hour RTO, eliminate disruptive upgrades and move to a consumption model that makes five-year budget planning 100% predictable.
What we will cover:
- Achieving financial stability: How you can lock in unit rates today, avoiding the "overpayment trap" and the risks of the current NAND demand shock
- Doing analytics the right way: Why ARDOT chose a reliable on-premises telemetry system over the unpredictable costs of the public cloud to power real-time traffic management and drone imagery analytics
- Busting data silos: How to move away from disparate "islands" of data(rail, road, air) and create a unified landing zone for multi-modal insights
- Ensuring operational continuity: How to make sure that when a data center fails, your tolling, gate management and safety systems stay live
