The AVAILABILITY of a production plant is now recognized as one of the most important KPIs in the process environment: How much does the DOWNTIME of the systems cost your customers annually? Find out with our “Cost of Downtime Calculator”.

The UPTIME is closely linked to the technologies that govern the plant in standard situations but it also has to do with the time necessary to restore the optimal situation in the event of unscheduled downtime. The two proposals below go exactly in this direction.

ZTC EDGE by STRATUS TECHNOLOGIES is the solution proposed by ServiTecno for “Plug & Play” High Availability: quick installation and 99,99% Availability guaranteed.

ZTC Edge it comes with an integrated virtualization platform called Stratus Redundant Linux. Based on the open source KVM project, it is capable of running up to 3 separate virtual machines, each with different industrial control or IIoT applications.

A management tool, the ztC Console, simplifies the setup, configuration and management of virtual machines. Self-protection and self-monitoring features help reduce unplanned downtime and ensure maximum availability in business-critical industrial applications.

And the restart? How long does it take to restart after an unscheduled Downtime? One repository for all “OK APPLICATIONS”: this is how restarting after an accident is shortened thanks to MDT AUTOSAVE.

When we talk about IT Accidents in an industrial environment, the parameter that defines the extent of the Incident is defined as RTO: The RECOVERY TIME OBJECTIVE represents the time in which our system becomes efficient again, in practice the tolerated DOWNTIME.

It goes without saying that the more expensive production is, the more our RTO will tend to 0 (it is not possible to have interruptions): this is especially true for regulated industries and critical processes.

Platforms for Change Control and Version Monitoring, address a critical aspect of security that is in no way treated when it comes to the most talked-about topics in the field of cyber security (editor's note: "data privacy" and "anomaly detection"): the intellectual property contained in the applications that manage the process (and not just that).

Disaster Recovery Plan: Do you have one? How should it be set?

We will show the brand new ones Stratus Technologies ZTC EDGE and the solution MDT Autosave at SPS: come and visit us! On May 23rd starting at 10 AM we will talk about Change Management, Version Control and Business Continuity: are you interested?
