Protecting your investment
► Your largest investment is in engineering
and customization.
► Broken upgrade paths creates costs far
beyond the cost of software.
► A broken upgrade path creates a barrier for
change – the system becomes stale.
► The underlying system should enable you
to leverage new hardware and software
without having to re-create the solution.
Wonderware System Platform Benefits
► Provide flexible and robust automation
solution
► Reduce life-cycle cost of ownership
► Provide building blocks for plant floor

3.
Redundant servers maintain
synchronized data through

If the primary server is lost the
backup server will take over
where the primary left off. The
switch is transparent to the
clients.
Configuration is done through
a check box on the
AppEngine.
