: White Paper - Single Node IAS for VAR & OEM

White Paper Excerpt: The Industrial Application Server and Single-Node Implementation for VARs and OEMs

The ArchestrA architecture provides a set of common infrastructure services. Complementing the Microsoft Windows operating system, the ArchestrA software architecture eliminates the need to re-invent common infrastructure services within each individual automation or information application. The architecture also enables a component object-based approach to application development so that users can assemble applications from libraries of standard elements (also known as component objects or application objects) that are easy to customize, create and deploy.

The benefits of the Industrial Application Server’s underlying architecture include: re-use of engineering, the ability to standardize applications, peer-to-peer connectivity, remote diagnostics and administration, source code control, and data-level security. These benefits enable VARs and OEMs to provide support for global distribution, development and
maintenance of their software applications, along with ease of localization and internationalization.

Because the Industrial Application Server is so easy to use, it empowers VARs and OEMs to concentrate on their domain expertise without worrying about infrastructure functions such as security, network-message integrity and historian functions.

Based on a common architecture, the software provides a degree of flexibility that facilitates the rapid creation and re-use of solutions that VARs and OEMs can offer their customers at a competitive price. They can create new products using tools and solutions that they have implemented in previous projects. Furthermore, VARs and OEMs can implement systems and create products at a reduced cost, with a faster time to market.
