: Centralizes updates, backups, and administrative tasks, significantly reducing the time required for system upkeep.
High-performance physical servers run a hypervisor (typically VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V). This layer partitions the server's CPU, RAM, and storage into separate, isolated Virtual Clients.
: Users can access the Siemens environment (like the TIA Selection Tool ) from any device, including personal laptops or dedicated industrial thin clients.
Each VM acts as an independent workstation running Windows and the required Siemens engineering or runtime software.
The is a lightweight, hardware-independent software platform designed to connect users to virtualized desktops and industrial applications hosted on central servers. At its core, it transforms any x86-based thin client hardware into a powerful access point for Siemens’ engineering frameworks, such as TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal), WinCC (Windows Control Center), and SIMATIC applications.
environment. This setup allows users to run powerful 3D design tools on lightweight "thin client" devices or remote workstations by offloading the heavy processing and graphics rendering to a centralized virtual server. SIEMENS Community Core Concept: Solid Edge in a Virtual Environment
Offers a standardized, secure environment that meets strict corporate compliance and "Zero Trust" requirements. 🛠️ Common Technical Use Cases
Operators access these virtualized environments using or remote connections (RDP), ensuring that the user experience is identical to using a real computer while the actual processing happens in the data center. Core Architecture and Components
