Hi,
I've got a question about our system we want to license using Microsoft Windows Server and Hyper-V. What licenses would I actually require for my given system. I don't really understand the licensing principle really confusing, I have an idea but I would like to know your thoughts(since you are experts). I have the following test setup, it involves using CitectSCADA.
Setup for the virtual SCADA server will consist of the following components:
- Two host servers: These two servers will host the virtual machines.
- A NAS: This Network Attached Server will be used to store the images of the virtual machines and fileserver for
the virtual SCADA servers, FakePLC server and SCADA Clients.
- A Network USB device: This Network USB device will be used to host the SCADA USB License keys.
- A FakePLC Client: This client will be used to host PLC simulators (Fake PLC) on a virtual server.
- A SCADA Master Client: This client will be used to synchorinze the SCADA projects.
- Five SCADA Clients: These five clients will be used as SCADA Clients which store the SCADA projects locally.
The client’s 4 and 5 can also be used to connect to the corresponding virtual SCADA client’s.
- A VSphere Client: This client will be used to administer the ESXi server environment.
- A switch: ---- not yet chosen how? Maybe Disturbed switch??
In the virtual network the following virtual machines will be available:
- A server to administer: This server will be used to administer the server environment.
- Two SCADA servers: This servers will act as a SCADA I/O, Alarm, Trend and Report servers for the physical and virtual
SCADA clients.
- A FakePLC server
- SCADA clients: these clients will be used as virtual SCADA clients for the two of the physical client’s.
Your help is much appriciated!
