with the goal of providing an ever more effective SCaDa/eMS solution to its customers, alStoM grid automation now offers the well known e-terraplatform product suite in a virtualised environment.
the virtualised e-terraplatform now offers the same functionalities in an optimised architecture, based on Virtual Machines (VM) technology and compliant with the latest requirements for cyber security and protection of critical infrastructure.
Why a virtualised platform ?
Virtualisation technologies have evolved over recent years and are now mature enough to allow a fast deployment of our SCaDa/ eMS solutions, not only for non-production environments like development systems, but also for the real-time operations domain. the performance (CPu, memory and disk space) available in today’s hardware has advanced the notion of virtualisation from concept to reality in the SCaDa/eMS world - and the benefits are numerous.
Ease of deployment
the standardised deployment associated with virtualisation technology results in reduced delivery times. For example, with a virtualisation environment in the operations/ Delivery domain, the project team no longer has to wait for computer hardware to be defi ned, ordered, delivered and set up before they start working on the project. this alone is a very signifi cant reduction in the startup time and duration of a project.

Ease of maintenance and upgrades
Future upgrades of SCaDa/eMS systems based on virtualisation will be faster and easier. Using virtualisation technology provides greater fl exibility for upgrades by minimising the migration of customer specifi c displays and database content - when using virtualisation, both existing and new VM images can be easily used side-by-side during migration without the need for additional hardware.
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Consolidating approximately 12 to 15 servers down to 3 represents a signifi cant reduction in hardware investment, compared to traditional systems.
Green IT
Today’s virtualisation technologies allow a more effi cient use of computing resources. Having consolidated physical servers reduces power consumption and other environmental factors which will contribute to the reduction of your company’s carbon footprint.

●● Hardware independence●› Virtual machines can be moved quickly and easily onto
different physical hardware as needed●› Virtual machines are easy to duplicate for testing
ordevelopment purposes
●● New backup schemes●› Virtual Disk fi les are like traditional disk images, but
easier to backup with standard backup software
●● New disaster recovery options●● tools such as vCenter and updateManager streamline
the patch/update management process
