Hardware – Software – Services – reliable and efficient

Siemens experts carry out the complete installation and configuration of the entire system according to your specific
requirements. The focus is on the design of the redundant hard disk configuration.
The fully integrated archive system includes the powerful hardware platform, the Microsoft Windows Server installation
including licenses, as well as the installation and configuration of the Process Historian/ Information Server and the
backup & restore server.

The range is rounded off by

matching monitors, corresponding
brackets and the process control
keyboard. This enables the tailor-
made operation and control of your
own production process. Functions
can be called up directly at the
touch of a button instead of using
complex menus.

System concepts for data archiving in SCADA and DCS
environments
The long-term and reliable availability and security of data is crucial for complex data archiving. Just as important are the
task-specific reporting as well as the visualization of the data and the possibility for flexible adaptation of report templates.
With SIMATIC Process Historian and Information Server you can archive and visualize your data on a powerful server with
the all-round, worry-free service package.
