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

Long ICS upgrade cycles vs. short IT upgrade cycles
Space, power, cooling and management limitations
Management of operator and engineering workstations
Management of multiple incompatible software versions
Higher downtime costs
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 computer refresh cycle is 3-5 years
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

The Power of the Hypervisor A Hypervisor -
Thin layer of code
Enables multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host.
A Hypervisor
Controls host CPU, storage, RAM and I\O
Allocates what is needed to each guest operating system
Ensures that guest operating systems (called Virtual Machines) have access to their required resources.
Guarantees that the Virtual Machines operate independently.
The VMware Hypervisor [vSphere, ESXi]
Is purpose-built Operating System
Enables the Operating System within the virtual machine to run unmodified
The Guest OS behaves as if it is running on physical hardware.

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

VMware Licensing
For Development
VMware Player is free for noncommercial use
VMware Workstation is a retail and download product
For Production
VMware vSphere and VMware View are sold through resellers and hardware OEMs
VMware View is sold by concurrent user and is available either standalone or as an
add-on for vSphere
VMware vSphere is sold in 3 editions with different functionality enabled

Microsoft Licensing for Virtualization
Servers:
Each host must be entitled for the virtual machine “high water mark”
Standard = 2 VM, Datacenter = unlimited VM’s
Desktops:
Client device requires Windows Software Assurance (PC/laptop), Virtual
Desktop Access (thin client) subscription
License entitles use of up to 4 vm’s
SQL Server
Licensed per VM or per Physical host server
Microsoft Windows licenses are tied to hardware not VMshttp://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/virtualization.aspx
