2 WW HMI SCADA 09 Best Practices for Virtualization and System Architectures.

3 Virtualization motivators for IT 1. Cost reduction Consolidation of Machines Energy Reduction Life cycle extension 2. Management Upgrades of HW Central Management Fast Deployment Corporate standard libraries 3. Support Virtual Desktops Fast Deployment Backup Procedure more effective

4 Virtualization motivators for Operations 1. Business Continuity High Availability Disaster Recovery Fault Tolerance Clear backup policies 2. Operational Cost Footprint reduction Higher return on capital investment MTTR reduction 3. Support Thin Clients plant floor, no moving parts IT maintained

5 Virtualization motivators for Development 1. Development Cost Fast Deployment, creating VM s minutes compared to hours on Physical Templates allow for standards across projects Infra structure needed for DEV becomes Capex and part of operations Better cash flow for Project Project lifecycle Non Virtual Virtual Concept Concept Functional spec Functional Spec 2. Development Speed Buy hardware Architecture Layout Architecture Layout Snapshots enable easy backups Reverse between versions of SW using snapshots Store projects in libraries, retrieval and setup in minutes. Scope Changes Detailed Design FAT Detailed Design FAT Buy hardware 3. Development Collaboration Location independent FAT cycle reduction (remote participation during development) Development time can be months or years risk that equipment is out dated upon commissioning Installation Commissioning Installation Commissioning

6 Common Barriers Virtualization Mitigations: Virtualization can work without a SAN Time, adoption takes time. Performance, don t over commit Recourses. Source: VMWARE

8 Roadmap Virtualization System Platform

9 Technologies Supported by System Platform 2014 Virtualization Disaster Recovery High Availability Resource management Fault Tolerance Smartcard support in Desktop RDP sessions Visualization Multi Monitor Support in RDP Access and Networking VLANS Remote Apps Remote Desktop RDP load balancing

10 SE Qualification levels Virtualization SE Qualification levels Level 1 Virtualization A. VMWARE B. Hyper V Level 2 HA and DR A. VMWARE B. Hyper V Level 3 Fault Tolerance A. VMWARE Level 4 Virtual Appliance System Platform 2012 is qualified for: 1 AB, 2 AB and 3 A

11 If Windows 2008 R2 virtualization was a revelation to you...then Server 2012 will rock your boat..

14 Remote FX built in to RDP: it s a protocol now Remote FX Multi Touch One of the problems with previous versions of RemoteFX was that it only accepted input from the client's keyboard and mouse. This is fine if the client is working from a desktop computer, but Windows 8 is designed to run on PCs, tablets and even smartphones. As such,windows Server 2012 RemoteFX has been updated to recognize touch gestures. Adaptive Graphics A second enhancement to Windows 8 RemoteFX is Adaptive Graphics. The idea behind this feature is that it changes the way RDS renders visual elements for remote sessions. RemoteFX for WAN A third new feature Microsoft introduced is RemoteFX for WAN. Basically, this feature optimizes RDS to work better over wide area networks (WANs). Host side rendering Utilization of GPU s in servers and Windows 8 Hyper V for rendering high end graphics on win 8 tablets and clients. (could also be from cloud)

27 Virtualization 2.0. Why is HA important? Server Downtime is unavoidable Maintenance Upgrade Hardware Updates Accident Power Failures Disasters Redundancy provided By SE mostly is A and B Virtualization Clusters can have 16 to 32 nodes.

28 What does High Availability require? Adding a second server Use of a SAN

30 Explanation of High Availability Cold Start = a start of a VM from disk to be operational losing memory state. Warm Start = A Controlled failover preserving state, redundant engines, Vmotion (VMware), Live Migration (Hyper-V). Secondary node is in standby. Hot Start = Synchronous lock step second VM or HW. Secondary node is running.

33 Virtualized HA and App Redundancy

34 Different levels of Redundancy in control systems Level Description Comments Virtualizing ArchestrA System Platform 23 Level Description Comments Level 0 Redundancy Level 1 Cold Standby Redundancy Level 2 High Availability (HA) No redundancy built into the architecture for safeguarding critical architectural components Redundancy at the Application Object level Safeguards single points of failure at the DAServer level or AOS redundancy. With provision to synchronize in real-time Uses virtualization techniques Expected failover: None Expected failover: 10 to 60 seconds Expected failover: Uncontrolled 30 seconds to 2 minutes, DR 2-7 minutes Level 3 Hot Redundancy: Level 4 Lock-step Fault Tolerance (FT) Redundancy at the application level typically provided by Invensys controllers. For example, hot backup of Invensys software such as Alarm System. Provides lock-step failover Expected failover: Next cycle or single digit seconds Expected failover: Next cycle or without loss of data. For ArchestrA System Platform, this would be a Marathon-type solution, which also can be a virtualized system. Can be 1-n levels of hot standby Can be geographically diverse (DR) Uses standard OS and nonproprietary hardware System Platform Supports Level 1,2 and 4 in System platform 2012

37 DataKeeper Cluster Edition for Windows Block-level replication of ALL data types, including Hyper-V, Exchange, SQL, Files, SharePoint and Oracle to name a few Low system resource burden Highly optimized for WAN deployments with 9 levels of compression Synchronous or Asynchronous Intuitive MMC interface Enables Multi-Site Clusters with Windows Server 2003 and 2008 Failover Clustering (DKCE only) Certified for Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2 and Hyper-V

38 High Performance Cluster (No SAN!) Traditional Microsoft failover clusters have two or more nodes attached to shared storage and are used to ensure applications such as SQL Node1 Server, File Servers and Node2 even entire Hyper-V virtual machines are highly Shared The shared storage available Storage in a traditional cluster DataKeeper Cluster represents Edition a single eliminates shared storage point as of failure In a the event of a failure of single point of failure, allowing the primary node, the you to use local storage for both secondary node High Performance Node2 and High automatically comes into Availability service utilizing the data

39 Multi-Target Cluster A single source server can have multiple targets, either across the LAN or WAN When the active server fails, the next server in the preferred owners list comes online and becomes the source of the mirror

42 DataKeeper Takeaways Better than array-based replication too expensive for small-medium businesses vendor lock-in for all storage in replica pool all or nothing approach Eliminates Single Point of Failure (SPOF) SAN represents a SPOF in traditional clusters DataKeeper keeps multiple copies of the data as well as integrates with failover clustering to automated the recovery process in the event of ANY failure Enables multi-site clusters Eliminate data loss Reduce recovery time Eliminate reliance on human intervention

43 Fault Tolerance VMware Esxi 5.0 Fault Tolerance Option Marathon Limit to one core VM s No downtime on failover secondary VM s are running.

44 Virtual Appliance Definition: Virtual appliances are a subset of the broader class of software appliances. Installation of a software appliance on a virtual machine creates a virtual appliance. Like software appliances, virtual appliances are intended to eliminate the installation, configuration and maintenance costs associated with running complex stacks of software.
