CitectSCADA Virtualized Environment

Richard J

I would like to think that some people have implemented Citect Servers in a Virtualized environment  HyperV  , VMWare ESX   etc and I would like to get some feedback on how it all went and if you have any nuggets of wisdom to offer.

  • Hi Antonio,
    I don't have many issues with softkeys in VMs as well, as long as I follow the rules regarding back-ups, etc.
    Most of our customers use softkeys in VMs in their production environment, but use USB licenses in the test and development machines because these machines are more subject to changes, reboots and restores.

    About datacenters: I would not ever put SCADA servers in a datacenter, especially not Citect. It is called PLANT SCADA for a reason.
    I might consider it for SCADA clients or MES applications though.
