Unmanned Server Management
6 Flexible Process Control Server Management for
Unmanned Facilities
Due to the high cost of personnel, and strict limits to
headcount due to safety regulations, an oil drilling
platform needed multiple industrial process computers
to be safely located in an unmanned server room
onshore, while still being accessible from 5 separate
control rooms in various locations throughout the
production facilities. Furthermore, in case of future
operational expansion, the system needed to incorporate
both point-to-point and multipoint-to-multipoint KVM
extender connections. The setup required a specialist in
process automation of industrial plants, with a focus on
integrating DCS, SCADA/HMI and PLC solutions with
remote IT management.
