Frequently Asked Questions
Many plants are adopting virtualization to reduce the number of physical servers that must be managed and maintained. By consolidating multiple workloads onto a smaller infrastructure footprint, organizations can simplify maintenance, reduce hardware and lifecycle costs, improve resource utilization, and gain greater flexibility to scale and adapt as operational needs evolve.
It can be used for both. DeltaV virtualization supports production environments as well as development, testing, and operator training systems, which means you can run real operations and simulation environments on the same platform if needed. Yes. DeltaV virtualization supports live production environments as well as development, testing, and operator training systems. This allows organizations to run operational and simulation workloads on the same platform if needed.
In a properly designed virtualized DeltaV system, workloads can be moved or recovered quickly on another host, minimizing downtime. Virtual environments are built with high availability features, so failures don’t necessarily mean losing control system functionality.
Virtualization separates hardware from software, allowing servers, operating systems, and infrastructure to be upgraded or replaced without having to reconfigure the control system. This simplifies lifecycle management, reduces disruption during upgrades, and helps extend the value of existing DeltaV investments.
Yes. By consolidating multiple systems onto fewer physical servers, DeltaV Virtualization significantly reduces cabinet space, power consumption, and cooling requirements, which improves overall efficiency and sustainability in the plant.
