Several Siemens technologies and partnerships coalesce into what could be called a “virtual client” ecosystem:

: Multiple systems (like PCS 7, WinCC, and SCADA) are merged onto a single high-availability server, reducing hardware footprint.

The Siemens Virtual Client is a complete, pre-configured software solution. It virtualizes operator stations, engineering stations, and OS clients in an industrial network. Instead of running software on separate physical PCs next to machinery, the applications run on a centralized server in a secure data room.
