Situation:
- Old HMIs using outdated hardware, obsolete OS, and out of support SCADA software.
- SCADA Software needs to be upgraded and rewritten.
- Version of the SCADA software is so old that it will not run on a current OS platform.
- PC Hardware is old and in desperate need of replacement.
- The only solution you see is to replace it all but you do not have the budget for it.
Solution:
- Virtualize the HMI PCs.
- Replace them with thin clients that connect to these virtual client HMIs.
Benifits:
- Delays the need to upgrade and rewrite the SCADA software (buys you time).
- Moves you in the right direction (Thin Clients to Terminal Servers)
- All of the infrastructure will continue to be used in the final solution.
- Each HMI can be converted individually instead of all at once without the added pressure of failing or obsolete infrastructure. The need is driven solely by the Software requirements.
