Wonderware Offers Single-Node Systems Built on ArchestrA Technology

LAKE FOREST, Calif., March 15, 2006 -- Wonderware, a business unit of Invensys Systems, Inc., has released an enhanced version of its Industrial Application Server for single-node environments. The new version is designed for value-added resellers (VARs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

With the Industrial Application Server Runtime License for Single-Node Implementation, the ArchestrA software architecture can now be installed with Wonderware's InTouch visualization software and IndustrialSQL Server historian on a single PC. This enables smaller application environments that use a single PC (rather than a network) to leverage the features offered by the ArchestrA architecture.

The Industrial Application Server's underlying ArchestrA architecture facilitates the re-use of engineering, standardization, peer-to-peer connectivity, remote diagnostics and administration, source code control, and role-based data security. These features enable VARs and OEMs to more easily provide support for the global distribution, localization, internationalization, development and maintenance of software applications.

"The underlying ArchestrA architecture provides software cost relief for OEMs and VARs, because they can combine best-of-breed application modules just by plugging them into the framework," said Nancy Venable, Wonderware's VAR/OEM program manager.

The Industrial Application Server Runtime License for Single-Node Implementation enables Wonderware's VAR and OEM customers to install functionally complete Wonderware applications on a single PC using single-node operating environments such as the Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system and Microsoft SQL Server Personal Edition.

The Wonderware Industrial Application Server enables significant cost reductions in the areas of designing, building, deploying and maintaining industrial software applications. The embedded ArchestrA software architecture reduces total cost of ownership by providing a single, comprehensive toolkit for the entire range of plant automation and information application requirements along with the ability to rapidly re-use and deploy best engineering practices.

"Wonderware's new Industrial Application Server Runtime License for Single-Node Implementation enables VARs and OEMs to provide more powerful and flexible solutions than those that are possible using a traditional HMI-based approach," Venable said. "The ability to harness the power of the ArchestrA architecture on a single computer gives machine builders opportunities to create impressively robust solutions in the same price range of traditional HMI-based solutions. Customers can now take advantage of the Wonderware Industrial Application Server's powerful capabilities and ArchestrA platform services that previously were only available in distributed control environments. The single-node version of Industrial Application Server enables VARs and OEMs to create scalable applications that address smaller but still complex automation and information environments."

Customers implementing the single-node version also can enhance their Industrial Application Server applications by purchasing additional nodes that can be adapted to a multiple-node configuration. The single-node version is built on open technologies such as Microsoft .NET and SQL Server, as well as industry standards including OPC, XML, SQL, OLEDB, ISA-88 and ISA-95.
