Global industrial automation software market: Virtualization of automation control systems


Virtualization of automation control systems can be done using a software called hypervisors, which is a thin layer between the virtual machine and host server. The virtual machine contains the operating system and software. Different operating systems are operated on top of a primary operating system using virtual machines. Virtualization can be applied on layers in an industrial premise such as server, storage, desktop, file, and network. It provides benefits such as optimum resource utilization and operation as well as power cost savings.

"The integration of different industrial automation systems such as SCADA, PLCs, and MES on a single physical server, which can be easily accessed at a different location on the plant floor using virtual machines will reduce the overall cost for servers. It will also enable flexibility in adopting industrial automation software in the process and discrete industries," says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on automation.
