Virtualization is the concept of allowing software to use very powerful hardware. This is done because hardware is almost never use up to 100% of its capabilities. In normal application the hardware would have a balance load of ~20%.

Within the process automation world, virtualization is still an emerging platform. Therefore it makes sense to work with consultants and engineers who understand IT concepts and have experience in that field of IT supply. But understanding the particular structures and key concepts of Process Automation is key for a project to succeed. In 2015 only 14% of all the virtualization system world wide was installed in a Process Automation environment

iAutomation has done a number of virtualization projects in the process automation environment as well as IT environment. The main configurations we have very good experience with are the following:
Base Package 1 “Small” Base Package 2 “Medium” Base Package 3 “Redundant” 1x Dell or HP server 20 processor cores VMware License 2,4 TB Datastore RAID 5 160 GB RAM 2x Dell or HP Server 20 Processor cores VMware License Vcenter License 160 GB RAM 2x Dell or HP Server 20 Processor cores VMware License

Because of the systems used, full redundancy of all of the virtual machines can be used within a virtualized environment. They onyl thing you need is a licence, shared data storage and en network connection.

One of the best reasons for introducing virtualization is cost saving. When implementing virtualization often one or two servers are bought to replace 25 to 50 physical computers. Therefore a lot of money could potentially be save on hardware cost. 62 server consolidation to 6 Virtualization servers
