SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service

Transcription

1 Industry ization as a Technology-based services for a greater competitive edge Minimum downtime and the optimum use of staff and resources are key to sustainable success in industry. Siemens provides the basis for greater productivity, flexibility, and efficiency with technology-based services throughout the lifecycle of an industrial plant reliably, globally, and around the clock. In-depth technology and product knowledge as well as industry expertise within Siemens global network of experts ensure a considerable competitive edge. The challenge: Optimum maintenance and modernization of PC-based control systems Apart from the maintenance of the hardware platform, maintenance and updating of the installed software components are particularly crucial for the lifecycle costs of a PC-based control system. The customer needs are concentrated especially on the following items: Optimum use of existing hardware Simple system expansions/updates Central administration and maintenance Fast and competent service Solutions from a single source High plant availability The efficient updating, maintenance, and modernization of the system components used therefore include a substantial potential for optimization. Answers for industry.

2 ization as a The portfolio: ization as a The solution: ization as a The integration of IT technologies into the industrial environment opens up innovative concepts here as well, such as system virtualization. ization as a facilitates the customers introduction to this future-oriented technology. The customers receive the Lifecycle required for the virtualization solution, including the suitable software and hardware components, directly from Siemens Industry from a single source and perfectly coordinated. Siemens Industry also provides comprehensive support during the lifecycle of the virtualization system. offers customers individual assistance for all technical questions on the function, use, and management of the system components used. More extensive system-specific consultation can be provided efficiently within the scope of. The offering includes: Setup of the virtualization server Configuration of the virtual machines Installation and configuration of the operating system Installation of the software ready for use

3 ization as a User System Documentation Installation & Configuration Pre-installation and configuration of the servers is included in the scope of deliveries System documentation includes documentation of the employed HW and SW components, technical manuals, instructions, and examples of applications can be extended for a year at a time after two years A contact person for all questions Custom support from experienced experts (phone/ ) Optional: for fast, efficient support Handling of questions about functions and use of systems Coverage of all employed technologies, products and systems (server hardware, operating systems, products, VMware (VM = virtual machine)) Coordination of support activities for components from third-party providers A choice of the following VMs is available: ization as a Microsoft Windows Server Microsoft Windows Server ES / Client Web Server Client Based on the system platform, a VM is delivered in ready-to-run condition. ization as a Based on the system platform, a virtualization layer is pre-installed which allocates resources of the physical hardware among the VMs VMware vsphere ESXi is used as the virtualization software

The assigned Siemens Specialists have extensive expertise in engineering, system commissioning and system testing Basic Priority Mature Products 24h Classic Contracts ization as a Efficient: Experts can connect with the system directly, worldwide, without call-out or travel time Capable: Excellent support from suitable experts Modular: can be adjusted in stages to actual needs Complete: The remote infrastructure is provided, associated support and maintenance are included Business Partner DMZ Business Partner Siemens Intranet Proactive Virus Protection OEM Customer DMZ crsp Web Portal Center Preventive Managed Reactive Engineer Access Server Web Portal Expert Internet (VPN) Customer Site Access Gateway Maintenance Engineer IT-System Administration Time-tested: The Siemens platform (SRS) provides a reliable remote connection

5 System virtualization at a glance 1. ization uncouples a computer s operating system and user software from the hardware 2. For that purpose, a hypervisor is installed on a powerful computer, as an additional software layer that makes it possible to run multiple VMs on one piece of hardware 3. The operating system and user software are made available as a VM 4. The hypervisor provides for the dynamic allocation of hardware resources among the VMs 5. VMs are accessed by way of energy-saving, economical thin clients ized system in an automation environment
