By decoupling software from hardware, you can run legacy operating systems on modern, high-performance servers, avoiding the "hardware-bound" obsolescence of older PCs. Core Solutions and Use Cases 1. SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service (SIVaaS) SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service (V1.1 SP1)
Why is this crucial? Traditional engineering applications are graphically intensive. Rotating a 3D CAD model or debugging a PLC ladder logic requires low latency. Siemens Virtual Client uses vGPU partitioning to give every remote user dedicated graphics memory. The result? A virtual desktop that performs identically to a physical, high-end engineering workstation. siemens virtual client
In the context of Siemens industrial and IT environments, a "virtual client" typically refers to virtualized system components By decoupling software from hardware, you can run
Traditionally, buying a perpetual license for TIA Portal, Step7, and WinCC for 100 engineers costs millions upfront. With SVC, Siemens introduced licensing via the Siemens License Server . The result
The virtual client architecture is built on an industrial data center model that consolidates multiple physical systems into a single server environment. Virtual Machines (VMs):
The Siemens Virtual Client disrupts this cycle. It is a software-based simulation environment—often built upon the foundation of or integrated within the TIA Portal and NX Mechatronics Concept Designer —that acts as a stand-in for physical hardware.
