PRE-TESTING IN A VIRTUALIZED
ENVIRONMENT
Moving the infrastructure from
Siemens’ environment to the customer
datacenter was a step enabled by
the virtual environment that OEM
Solutions was able to create. Once
the design was completed, the
customer’s entire Desigo CC solution—
hardware and software—was set up
in the Siemens local oce in Bluebell,
Pennsylvania. It incorporated all the
switching and loading of all the third-
party software products so tests could
be run on all systems.
All the third-party vendors brought a
device to connect to this staging area
network so the Siemens team could
demonstrate that the pre-production
network design, devices and servers
worked successfully together. The
team could make sure the ABA log
backup was working with the antivirus
software, for example, as well as
create a disaster recovery plan for the
entire system. The client could even
witness a test of the failover-and-
restore sequences.
The Dell Technologies’ solution
for Siemens Desigo CC customer
included high-power, secure
PowerEdge servers and Unity storage
arrays using MetroSync replication
for redundancy. OEM Solutions
also performed a cybersecurity
vulnerability scan of all the hardware
during this pre-commissioning
phase—a service Dell Technologies
oers for all its PowerEdge servers.
“If you can prioritize events from
all disciplines in your building, in a
single application, then you really can
make sure that the right things are
getting attention in the right order,”
says Rule.
