Traditional Server ArchitectureTraditional Server are based on one operating system per physical server

10

Hardware Virtualized Servers

11

Hardware virtualized servers remove the dependency of the hardware from the operating system, and allow multiple separate operating systems to share common hardware.

Benefits of Virtualization

12

Traditional servers running a single operating system never fully utilize the available resources (CPU and RAM).

Costs are reduced by requiring less hardware and reducing overall energy requirements.

Remove dependence on specific hardware for backup and disaster recovery

– Virtual images are easy to transfer between servers.

Allows for easy hardware upgrades without the need for re-installation of the operating system and application files.

Supports Legacy operating systems

Terminal services (thin clients) extend value proposition of virtualization

Consolidation Can Increase Risk

A 3rd party OPC server (ie Kepware) can be used today. Stratus is investigating building our own OPC server and Rockwell RSView template pages for easy deployment in Rockwell projects

Transneft the state-owned Russian oil transportation company has 30,000 miles of pipeline

SCADA is being deployed for monitoring pipeline conditions including: leak detection, seismic control, and data acquisition

A Stratus ftServer was deployed every 190 miles along an upgraded segment

57 ftServers

downtime! Uptime = Supportable

Example: Transneft Pipeline

Stratus® ftServer® systems Windows 2008

26

The plug-and-play simplicity of the

ftServer platform allows deployment of

SCADA into very remote locations and

keeps it up and running. Sites often have

limited or no computer expertise so

keeping the infrastructure simple is

essential.

(1) ftServer 4500 running VMware at each plant

Each server runs 4-8 VMs including RSView, domain name server, and domain controllers

Benefits include eliminating unplanned downtime, lowering costs, and simplifying management of infrastructure

Uptime = Savings

Example: Amalgamated Sugar

Stratus® ftServer® systems VMware vSphere™ virtualization Total Assurance support services

27

Sugar plants in Idaho rely on Rockwell Software to perform many functions including visualization using RSView. Stratus fault-tolerant servers gave Amalgamated the confidence to virtualize these applications and achieve a significant savings
