IT is becoming widespread and the traditional IT expert is replaced by a wide variety of specialists. The growth of the Internet and its associated technologies has allowed IT solutions to be applied to SCADA e.g. Ethernet, the IP suite of protocols. IT hardware and software has developed and improved its performance to the extent that specialized SCADA systems are being replaced by generic IT solutions (e.g. SQL databases, PC’s).
