Platform Releases
16
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

17
Solution

• Cross group development teams
• Collaboration at design time
• Concerted development effort
• Examples
• High Availability
• PIANO
• Foundation

18
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

19
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

20
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

The Value of Data Management in PR 2

• Delivery 1 (targeted for August 2007)
• Notifications
• High Availability enhancements
• Delivery 2 (targeted for the First Quarter 2008)
• Data Directory introduced
• Concepts and Applications
• Structured Data
• Asset Centric User Interaction
• Calculations
• Displays
• Reports

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
