ARC Advisory GroupVirtual machines can be run on any virtualization enabled physical server, creating a pool of compute resources that helps ensure the end user's highest priority applications will always have the resources they need without wasting money on excess hardware only needed for peak times. Deken said virtualization technology also simplifies the distribution of bundled offers, such as the
Rockwell Automation PlantPAx Process Automation System, and extends the life of software. Rather than upgrading software every two to three years or testing "old" Windows versions, virtualization technology helps enable end users to run the same software on a particular PC or operating system for more than 10 years.
According to Craig Resnick, research director for ARC Advisory Group, one of the primary issues that manufacturing end users continuously cite is the great disparity between the long product life cycle of their automation hardware vs the short product life cycle of their automation software.
