Next Gen, Adopting the best of Virtualization

8



• Creates a virtual version of a processor, motherboard and other related components

• Separates an operating system from the underlying physical hardware

• Allows a virtual machine to be encapsulated in a set of files

• Allows more than on virtual machine to be run on a physical processor

9



• Ability to create logical networks that are decoupled from the physical hardware

• Each physical network connection can carry multiple logical networks that can be

independently controlled.

• Creates software based representations of physical devices such as gateways, routers,

firewalls etc

10



• Inserts an abstraction layer to hide the complexity of physical storage

• Aggregate or pool the storage coming from multiple devices

• Is able to take advantage of a number of storage performance tiers

Network Virtualization

• VLANs

- Allows multiple networks to be separated and isolated over the one physical cable

- VLAN’s can be defined purely through software

- VLAN’s as a result are highly flexible and not constrained to the physical switch a cable is

plugged into.

13

Unit 1 (VLAN 1)

Unit 2 (VLAN 2)

Unit 3 (VLAN 3)


Before VLANs

• Networking complexity below multiplies by the number of hosts

• Further complexity is added for each new network segment

• Movement of virtual machines between hosts will not work unless networking is patched

correctly at destination

14


After VLANs

Vastly simplified virtual networking!

• Vastly reduced cabling count

• Full mobility of VMs across each host without having to run dedicated cables for each

network segment

• Simplified administration

Customer Examples


Proven Technology to Power Honeywell’s Customers

Second Train and Ancillary to follow!

• Case Study: Australia Pacific LNG

• Natural Gas to LNG producer with 9MTPA nameplate

capacity across two trains

• Realizing the benefits of the Next Gen Platform by

- Migrating Train 1 consolidating 38 nodes into 3 Next Generation

platforms

17

• Benefits realized

- Availability – Zero downtime, Zero data

Loss

- Reduction in space, power, cooling, &

maintenance

- 90% reduction in number of nodes that

need to be refreshed

Utilizing the Benefits of FTE on Thin Clients

• Honeywell can now deliver Fault Tolerant Ethernet

on Honeywell Windows-based thin clients

• Through the use of an Ethernet adapter, both FTE

network segments can be delivered directly to the

thin client.

• Provides benefits such as:

- FTE software stack runs directly on the thin client,

eliminating the need for an external port protector

- Flexible deployment options – connect where FTE is

available

- Configuration via familiar FTE tools

25


Moving Beyond the Control Room

Expanded form factors increase deployment

possibilities and allow flexible mounting options.

Enable connectivity in process areas to expand

the control room experience.
