Advantech's fault-tolerant IoT platform

Every second is important in today's online economy. Downtime in critical business applications can have far-reaching economic, security, and legal consequences. No matter how fast you recover from a failure, it is no longer the ideal solution. What the company needs now is fault prevention, not failure recovery. In the manufacturing industry, for example, the final benefit depends on the ability of the plant to maintain its normal start-up and operation. If downtime in SCADA, HMI, Historian and other key industrial automation systems may mean lower production, lost revenue, regulatory fines, quality degradation or The reputation is damaged. Corresponding to customer pain points, Advantech's fault-tolerant solutions ensure that manufacturing equipment remains stable and always online, maximizing productivity and quality.

Many companies only have limited IT staff on site to ensure that everything is working properly or to introduce unattended automated mechanized operations. For such applications, we have collected some usage feedback:

1. Unplanned downtime: system transient error and power peak cause failure, resulting in service shutdown

2, data corruption or data loss: due to service shutdown, affecting the integrity of trading functions and production data

3, high cost: commercial solutions that can achieve fault tolerance are relatively expensive

4. Complex deployment and management: Need to set up additional software applications or write failover scripts, which is quite difficult

Advantech Solutions

In response to the above issues, Advantech's fault-tolerant solutions provide the following features:

1. Prevent unplanned downtime: When a hardware failure or power peak causes a system failure, it can transfer all applications to another server in one second, protect the running data, and ensure that the service is still available. .

2. Protection across urban areas: Two fault-tolerant servers are connected via fiber-optic cables to support automatic synchronization of disk and memory data at remote work sites. Even in the event of a building-wide disaster, data corruption or data loss can be effectively prevented.

3, built-in virtualization function: Based on KVM integrated virtualization platform, you can properly configure hardware resources to maximize performance. The client only sees one hostname and one IP address, so all applications require only one set of authorizations.

4, economic and affordable: two servers plus a set of software license integrated fault-tolerant platform, no additional network switches, storage equipment and other hardware; Advantech fault support 28 virtual machines online at the same time, completed within 30 minutes, speed up value The time of implementation.

5, multi-function control panel: Based on the web-based single interface settings, self-monitoring and self-diagnosis system can simplify the problem and issue a warning to automatically restart the faulty application. If there is a need to replace the online parts, the system can continue to operate while the repair is in progress.

Advantech's fault tolerance is comprehensively promoted in various industries because of its high availability. Especially in industrial manufacturing, highway transportation, railway transportation, airport transportation, logistics, medical and other industries have typical successful programs and case presentations. For example, in the project application of the ME system of a well-known power variability factory in the industrial manufacturing industry, the hardware architecture of the fault-tolerant solution issued by Advantech is simple and clear, and the cost is saved to the maximum extent. The software installation operation is also very simple, the setup can be completed in 30 minutes, and the Chinese version is supported at the same time, which is easy for customers to learn and use. Stand out in many programs and get customer recognition.

Advantech's fault-tolerant hardware architecture:

研华容错实现永不中断的物联网平台

Heartbeat: Use Gigabit network to connect two servers to detect each other's status

Synchronous network: Use two 10 Gigabit networks to connect two servers and synchronize information at any time.

Business/Management Network: Provides external applications and services that share the same network port with the management console

The technical principle of Advantech's fault tolerance:

Network and storage: The two servers are hyper-converged architectures, including compute nodes, network functions and storage space, extended services.

KVM virtualization: Built in Advantech's fault tolerance, it can support 28 virtual machines running on two servers at the same time.

Availability extension: Advantech's fault-tolerant core engine, when one server fails, another server automatically takes over all applications

Advantech's fault-tolerant server technology advantage

1. Specifications are flexible: modular components, any combination of motherboard and chassis, can be the most cost-effective configuration for project specifications

2, wide temperature working environment: Compared with commercial models can only be compatible between 10~35 °C, Advantech can provide a wider temperature working environment of 0 ~ 40 (60) °C, effectively saving the power cost of the machine room, and Prevent the system from shutting down due to overheating

3, shockproof design: 1G industrial grade stability, higher than four times the commercial model 0.25G! (1G = 1g=9.8m/s^2 ), compatible with diverse work environments

4, product life cycle: all accessories for up to 5 to 7 years, or even more than 10 years of spare parts replacement, in line with the needs of long-term projects

5, technical services: local research and development and after-sales support, the shortest time to solve the problem, and provide BIOS, LOGO custom service

in conclusion

Whether you are a well-equipped data center in a large enterprise, a lack of IT expertise or a small and medium-sized enterprise looking for edge computing, we can provide you with a range of fault-tolerant solutions based on the reliability and configuration flexibility of Advantech hardware. Program to meet your specific needs. Advantech's fault-tolerant infrastructure can be deployed in a short period of time without the need to change your application or expertise. Our team combines continuous monitoring services, continuous non-stop hardware and software, and virtualization technology to deliver the highest levels of reliability required in the operating environment.
