Industrial companies have varying requirements for information security, data management and IT architecture. Especially when critical production facility data is involved or operations take place in restricted network environments, a third-party managed cloud service may not be a suitable option. In such cases, the answer can be customer-managed data hosting.
SolidComp Reality Twin On Premises addresses this need by bringing Reality Twin into the customer’s own IT environment.
Data Management in the Customer’s Own Environment
With the On Premises solution, the Reality Twin back-end system can be deployed on a server controlled by the customer or in the customer’s own cloud environment. The solution can include user management, data management, integrations and other back-end components of the service.
The browser-based version of Reality Twin can also be implemented to operate within the customer’s own internal network.
In this implementation model, the customer is responsible for the server environment and its capacity. Server costs are also managed directly by the customer without intermediaries.
SolidComp defines the technical requirements for implementation together with the customer, including the required server or cloud environment, hardware and other infrastructure. A fully internet-isolated implementation is always assessed on a customer- and environment-specific basis as part of the technical design.
Reality Twin Without Dependency on a Third-Party Cloud
The On Premises model provides an alternative for organisations that do not want or are not able to process critical industrial data in an external cloud service.
The key benefit of the solution is control. The customer can define where the data is stored, the network environment in which Reality Twin operates and how access rights and connections to other systems are implemented.
This makes it possible to implement Reality Twin also in environments where information security, data location or architecture requirements restrict the use of conventional cloud services.
Deep Integrations with the Customer’s System Environment
The On Premises solution enables Reality Twin to be closely integrated with the customer’s internal IT architecture.
The visual 3D environment of an industrial facility can be connected, for example, to the customer’s own maintenance, document management, asset management or other information systems according to the agreed integration model.
The aim is not to create another isolated system, but to bring information related to the industrial environment into a visual and location-based context where it is needed.
With the On Premises model, Reality Twin can become a long-term part of a production facility’s digital infrastructure.
Cloud or On Premises According to the Customer’s Requirements
Reality Twin can be delivered to different IT environments according to the customer’s requirements. The cloud model provides fast and scalable implementation, while the On Premises solution gives the customer greater control over infrastructure and data processing.
The choice can be based, for example, on the following requirements:
- data location and ownership
- the customer’s information security policy
- internal network and access rights requirements
- integrations with the customer’s own systems
- IT architecture and available infrastructure
- procurement and supplier requirements
The same Reality Twin service can be used in very different industrial environments without requiring the customer to change its core information security or IT principles for the sake of the service.
On Premises Is a Significant New Part of SolidComp’s Offering
SolidComp CEO Sandor Nagy sees the On Premises solution as an important step, particularly in serving demanding industrial customers.
“On Premises is a strategically significant development step for SolidComp. Going forward, we can participate more broadly in procurements where information security, IT architecture or data management requirements are a central part of solution selection.”
On Premises expands the use cases for Reality Twin, particularly in large and long-term customer relationships. It enables broader implementations, enterprise licensing, customer-specific integrations and ongoing maintenance and expert services.
Reality Twin for Demanding Industrial IT Environments
With Reality Twin, the value of On Premises hosting comes from the ability to bring the reality-based 3D environment, industrial data, user management and system integrations into the customer’s own controlled infrastructure.
SolidComp Reality Twin™ On Premises is intended for organisations that want to use a digital twin according to their own infrastructure, information security and data management principles.
