Modernization to Prevent Unplanned Downtime Through Virtualization and Fault Tolerant Platforms

When HMI/SCADA systems go down, your operation becomes blind, creating havoc with OEE, ROA & other KPIs.

Modern computer technologies such as virtualization and fault tolerant servers are being effectively used to eliminate unplanned outages while simultaneously streamlining operations and preparing for the coming wave of IIoT applications.

Understand from real-world experiences of peers who have upgraded their automation computer assets to incorporate virtualization and fault tolerant servers to eliminate unplanned downtime, prevent data loss and prepare for IIoT.

This Webinar highlights:

• Key causes and impacts of unplanned downtime
• Challenges with traditional HMI/SCADA deployments
• Why fault tolerant servers are a critical part of a virtualized solution
• Real world zero downtime stories
