Scalability for plant-wide and global accessUnique from other solutions, CIMPLICITY GlobalView introduces a Profi cy-fi rst technology, the Relay Server. With the Relay Server in the system architecture,

CIMPLICITY GlobalView Achieve powerful control and visualization within the plant or across the globe!

GlobalView servers can be easily added or removed—enabling quick expansion or troubleshooting. Additionally, the Relay Server balances the client load across the available GlobalView servers, enabling sup-port for hundreds of simultaneous users and expanding your application within the plant or across the globe.

Easy installationSetting up GlobalView is quick and easy, resulting in web-enabled applications within minutes. It deploys automatically to clients with a simple automatic down-load into the web browser. Additionally, when you update your CIMPLICITY base application, GlobalView picks up the change automatically and updates any new client connections.

Features:

• Highly scalable, modular components

• Redundancy and web client high availability

• No restrictions on third-party controls

• One-time server configuration with zero client configuration

• Easy migration path from CIMPLICITY WebView

• Thick client functionality within Internet Explorer or Firefox

Components to Truly Globalize CIMPLICITYIn this example, three connected plants feed information into a CIMPLICITY Enterprise Server at a corporate centralized point. GlobalView servers take this enterprise-level application, providing worldwide access. The included GlobalView Relay Server not only enables a large number of users, but also provides a level of redundancy in the event that one of the GlobalView servers is offline.

Easy and Fast ExpansionIn this example, a single Global-View Server is remotely connected via the internal intranet to an existing CIMPLICITY server. This architecture doesn’t affect the existing setup and enables the entire plant to make decisions with real-time data.

With GlobalView, you are in control

Redundancy and Web Client High Availability If your CIMPLICITY application is using redundant servers, GlobalView can auto-matically switch between your primary and backup without user intervention. Addition-ally, GlobalView delivers functionality that can eliminate a single point of failure, and when used in conjunction with the Relay Server and server clustering, can become a powerful high availability client option for your critical applications.

GlobalView FlexibilityCIMPLICITY GlobalView has many flex-ible configuration topologies and can be installed on an independent, dedicated server or on the main CIMPLICITY server.

• Dedicated Server(s) – This setup is typi-cally used when a large number of clients are expected, allowing GlobalView to utilize the entire power of the server for connected clients.

• CIMPLICITY and GlobalView Server – In the event of sporadic connections or a lower volume of simultaneous connected clients, you can install CIMPLICITY Global-View directly on the same hardware as the CIMPLICITY SCADA server.

Also, GlobalView can use CIMPLICITY’s built-in, no-hassle web server or the Microsoft® Internet Information Server (IIS) to deliver content to client sessions.

System RequirementsClient• Internet Explorer 7.0 or 8.0

• Mozilla FireFox 3.0 or 3.5

• Microsoft Windows® XP Pro, Server 2003, Server 2008 or Vista
