What is Virtualization?

Traditionally the OS and its applications

were tightly coupled to the hardware they

were installed on

Virtualization breaks the link between

operating system and physical hardware

This allows the ability to change hardware

without replacing the OS or applications

Additionally multiple instances of an OS

with independent applications can now run

on the same hardware

Virtualization is widely adopted by IT and growing in ManufacturingManufacturing has some unique Considerations and Opportunities

Address with Virtualization Value Propositions

System longevity with HW/SW abstraction

Server consolidation

Centralized server management and deployment

Centralized workstation management and deployment

Improve reliability with management and recovery features

Typical Industrial control system refresh is15 to 20 years

Computer replacements typically require software upgrades which are expensive and difficult

Able to upgrade Hypervisor without modifying the virtual machine

Virtual hardware exposed to the guest OS does not change when physical hardware is replaced

Each virtual hardware version is supported for three major releases of vSphere

Increased Application Longevity


Server Consolidation

• Many physical servers

- Under utilized- Requiring maintenance- Generating heat- Consuming energy

• Fewer physical servers– More efficiently utilized

– Easier to maintenance

– Generating less heat

– Consuming less energy

Virtualization in the Plant

Overview & Drivers


VMware vSphere Overview

Combines multiple servers and storage units into a

pool of resources that can be divided between

applications

Provides central management for servers and their

applications

Advanced high availability and disaster recovery

features

Intended to provide a highly available, always on back

end for server applications and desktops.

Can segment hardware into multiple priority groups.


Centralized Management (Servers)

• Monitor all host servers and virtual machines• Deploy new VM’s from template• Attached to the console session to manage installed applications• Shutdown / reset problem VM’s• Backup and restore virtual machines with integrated addons

(optional)


Manageability: vMotion

• Migrate a running VM from one physical server to another


Manageability: DRS

• Management server monitors host load and virtual machine placement vs. defined rules.

• Either suggests or automatically executes vMotion operations

Reliability: High Availability

• Hosts monitor each other and their virtual machines for failure

• Failed virtual machines automatically restarted where resources are available.

Reliability: VMware Fault Tolerance

• Virtual machines execute simultaneously on two physical servers

• Bumpless failover in the event of a HARDWARE failure


VMware View Overview

Central management for both engineering and

operations clients

Rapid deployment of new desktops and updates

Run virtual machines on production server cluster,

or on engineering laptop

Client can run on a range of devices from desktops

to tablets

End user focuses on using the applications rather

than managing his virtual machine library

Aimed at systems that could benefit from centralized

management

Extend server virtualization benefits to clients:

• Software independence from hardware• Lower Administration and Support Costs• Rapid Desktop Deployment• Leverage VM Availability Features• Centralized disaster recovery• Integrated Secure Remote Access


Centralized Management (Clients)

• View status of current clients• Reset problem clients• Provision new systems• Rapidly deploy tested patches

or software updates• Entitle or revoke user access

VMware View VDM can also be used to manage access to Microsoft Terminal Services

Overview & Drivers


FactoryTalk® Activation Considerations

FactoryTalk® Activation is fully supported in a virtual environment.

Considerations for a virtualized activation server:

Licenses required are based on concurrent running instances

of software – whether virtualized or not.

Use concurrent activations centralized on an activation server

Use dongle based or disk serial number based activations

Virtualization does not change Rockwell Software® licensing
