Distributed infrastructure where engineers need to access identical HMI/SCADA configurations from various remote locations across a massive physical footprint. Conclusion

In 2011, with Service Pack 2 for Simatic WinCC Version 7, Siemens enabled WinCC clients to run on virtual machines hosted on platforms like Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi. These virtual clients could connect to rugged physical "thin clients" via an Ethernet network using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The thin terminal acted only as an interface, displaying the visualization and sending user inputs to the server.

Proximity to cloud resources reduces latency , making applications feel as responsive as local hardware.

This is where VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Nutanix AHV runs. Virtual Machines (VMs) hosted here contain the full installation of Windows Server or Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise, along with Siemens software like TIA Portal, STEP 7, or WinCC.

While RDP works for basic tasks, the is optimized for industrial visualization . TIA Portal and WinCC are graphically intensive, requiring low latency and high frame rates for smooth operation of HMI simulations. SVC leverages protocols like PCoIP (PC over IP) or HDX (High Definition Experience) from Teradici/Citrix, which are superior to standard RDP when dealing with real-time 3D visualizations, alarms, and trending charts.

For its high-end engineering and design software, such as the NX product engineering solution, Siemens has used Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to deliver advanced capabilities. By working closely with NVIDIA and certifying NX for deployment in the cloud using VDI with NVIDIA GRID vGPU technology, Siemens made its powerful CAD software available from any device without requiring a high-powered local workstation. With VDI, the software runs on a central server, and vGPU technology ensures that even lower-end client devices can display high-quality 3D graphics, delivering the same visual experience as a dedicated workstation.
