Platform Releases
15
Platform Releases

Consolidation of all products into a single
release event

Targeting yearly releases
– Incremental improvements through more frequent
minor releases

Predictable release schedule
– Customers need to trust our plans
– Customers have their own plans to make and meet
– Minimize the impact of independent patches
16
Solution

Cross group development teams
– Collaboration at design time
– Concerted development effort

Examples
– High Availability
– PIANO
– Foundation
17
Platform Release Themes

PR 1 = High Availability (released January 07)

PR 2 = Data Directory and Notifications + HA
– Delivery 1 – Notifications and High Availability
– Delivery 2 – Initial Data Directory Support

PR 3 = Enterprise Data Access and Analysis
18
High Availability PI

Software Fault-Tolerant System
– Interface Failover, Buffering, PI Server Replication, SDK Services

Near-Independent, Physically Separated Servers
– No hardware/network restrictions, no limit on server nodes

General Benefits
– Availability, end-user sees one logical system
– Scalability, system load can be distributed
– Flexibility, accommodates your environment

For IT and Management
– Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
– Allows Disaster Recovery Plans
19
The Value of High Availability in PR 1
 More
uptime during server outages
– Planned
– Unplanned
 Automatic
failover for data consumers
 Automatically publish changes from
a primary to secondary servers
– Multiple configurations possible

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Service orientation is nothing new
– It is, however, unique to your business
– Provides high value to customers
– Services are “business level” by nature and necessity

The architecture protects your service
investment
– Supports reuse both with the aggregate steps and the
electronic document
– Encapsulates changes in platform, process, and
growth
31
Summary

