Physical Infrastructure in the real-world has a much longer lifetime than software systems. This presents a number of challenges to operators:

* Hardware components fail at some point while spare parts are no longer available and need to be replaced by modern alternatives. * Old software lacks support for modern components and a major software upgrade is required for continuing operation.

Learn how this gap can be mediated and what can be done to solve this issue long-term.
