Redundant Rockwell PlantPAx & ThinManager on VMware ESXi

A virtualized PlantPAx architecture can improve system availability, maintenance, and lifecycle flexibility. 1. Architecture: Redundant FTView SE and ThinManager services hosted on VMware ESXi. 2. Software: FTView SE Server, ThinManager, Domain Controller, and Historian. 3.Licensing: FTView SE Server Redundant, FTView SE Client, ThinManager Redundant, and RDS CAL Device. 4. Key Benefits: - Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by reducing dependency on physical server and operating system lifecycle. - Faster HMI client replacement with minimal local software installation. - Centralized maintenance, backup, recovery, and system management. - Improved availability through redundant HMI and ThinManager architecture. Virtualization + ThinManager provides a more resilient, scalable, and maintainable PlantPAx HMI platform.
