Small to mid-sized installation, on-site industrial data center
Manufacturing environments have unique IT demands. An industrial data center running production-critical applications such as SIMATIC PCS 7, WinCC, TIA Portal, and COMOS cannot afford blind spots. If a component fails and nobody knows, production stops.
The Siemens Industrial Automation DataCenter (IADC) is a fully configured, on-site data center designed specifically for manufacturing environments. It integrates high-performance computing, IT and OT networks, backup and disaster recovery, process data archiving, uninterruptible power supply, and IEC 62443 compliant security architecture on a single hardware platform. Different hardware variants allow individual scaling across the full system lifecycle.
Monitoring such an environment requires a tool that can cover all of these components in one view, send alerts when something goes wrong, and work across multiple networks and locations without requiring a separate solution for each one.
Siemens selected PRTG to monitor all components of the IADC from a single platform. More than 250 predefined native sensors cover the full range of data center monitoring needs out of the box.
PRTG remote probes extend monitoring across multiple networks at different locations and standalone networks within the enterprise, without requiring separate installations. Real-time overview maps give operators live status information across all components so they can act immediately when something changes.
The reporting feature provides historical monitoring data for any time period or system configuration. Reports can be scoped to all sensors or filtered to specific ones. Alerts are delivered via email, push notification, SMS, or HTTP request, with free PRTG apps for Android and iOS already included.
PRTG is an easy-to-use and comprehensive solution to monitor our Industrial Automation DataCenter (IADC).
