2 Experion Virtualization Solutions Overview 2

3 Virtualization Today s hot topic More Virtual Machines are being deployed today than physical Over 80% of our largest customers have plans to virtualize at L2 Over 75% of servers will be virtualized by 2014 Over 40% of todays machines are now virtualized Over 50% of our largest customers are already virtualizing today at L3/L4 Honeywell is at the front of this trend! 3

4 Challenges for Plants Under Construction Constant pressure to reduce construction times Increasing design complexity Geographically distributed nature of construction process. Changing project requirements 4

5 Challenges for Existing Systems Reduce computers Other Customer Concerns Rate of change Management complexity Lack of skills Need to reduce overall lifecycle management costs 5

9 Customers Building New Plants Virtual Factory Acceptance Tests Execute FAT without having to fly people in. Delay Hardware Purchases Development can start without computer hardware Extend Design Freeze Dates Engineering can commence without controllers. Allows freeze dates to be extended Project gets installed with latest hardware System can be deployed on final hardware later in the project. 8

10 Customers with Lifecycle Challenges Hardware Refresh Optimization Facility and Utility Savings System Management Benefits High Availability Solutions for Computer Hardware Improved Hardware, OS and App Compatibility Simplified and lower risk upgrades and patching Improved desktop security with lower heat & noise. 9

11 Hardware Refresh Optimization Customer Problem Too many machines to maintain Constant refresh churn Less people to perform required maintenance Impact of refreshes are high Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS Hardware optimized for TCO benefits Customer Benefits Reduced server and workstation count Reduced refresh frequency Add additional workloads without requiring additional machine purchases Reduction in the impact of a refresh 10

12 System Management Benefits Customer Problem Reduction in maintenance staff Difficult to get the required skills Pressure to deploy new projects faster Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS Central management console for the monitoring and deployment of virtual machines Customer Benefits Reduced administration time Reduced time to provision new machines Improved quality and repeatability 11

13 System Management Benefits Access the desktop of any virtual machine from a single screen 12

14 System Management Benefits See the status and performance of all VMs from one window. 13

15 Facility and Utility Savings Customer Problem Existing equipment rooms are a fixed space and running out of capacity Exhausting UPS capacity. Challenges with cooling Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS Experion Consolidation optimized for space, power and cooling Customer Benefits Avoid increases in UPS and cooling capacity Increase server capacity without requiring additional space 14

16 High Availability Solutions for Computer Hardware Customer Problem Disruption cased when upgrading hardware Continual desire for improved availability Reduce recovery times Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS High availability hardware and virtualization features Built in backup package optimized for virtualization Customer Benefits Improved availability over traditional control System Faster disaster recovery 15

17 High Availability Solutions for Computer Hardware Transparently shift virtual machines between hosts 16

18 Improved Hardware, OS and App Compatibility Customer Problem Difficult to get hardware that can run older operating systems. To get multiple applications to work together without increasing node count. Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS Extensive range of OS support Isolate applications on a single box Customer Benefits Avoids PC refreshes due to OS obsolescence Safely run multiple applications on a single physical box. 17

19 Simplified and lower risk upgrades and patching Customer Problem Desire to reduce the time, risk and cost of migrations Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Experion ICSS Experion Off Process Solution Migration service Customer Benefits Reduced Risk Reduced Time Once virtual machine is built, run for as long as hardware provides acceptable performance. 18

20 Simplified and lower risk upgrades and patching Snapshots for quick rollbacks 19

21 Improved desktop security with lower heat & noise Customer Problem Desire to improve System Security Reduce space, heat and noise in the control room Improve reliability for desktops Experion Virtualization Solutions Virtualized Station Environment High availability hardware and virtualization features Use of Thin Clients Customer Benefits Improved System Security Reduced space, heat and noise Improved availability over physical 20
