Automation software works with Windows Server 2008
Iconics is among the first companies worldwide to earn the Certified for Windows Server 2008 software logo for its automation software.
GraphWorX64, a core component of the Iconics Genesis64 suite, is the first industrial automation solution to earn certification for Windows Server 2008.
Iconics had previously earned the "Certified for Windows Vista" designation, making it one of the first companies worldwide to receive both certifications.
"Microsoft is proud to count Iconics among the first companies worldwide to earn the Certified for Windows Server 2008 software logo for their automation solutions", says Tony de Freitas, Director of Windows Server Marketing at Microsoft.
"By certifying early, ICONICS is helping our manufacturing customers fully leverage the security and solid foundation of Windows Server 2008, while enjoying a technically superior experience on the 64bit platform".
"Windows Server 2008 is the culmination of breakthroughs in web, virtualisation, security and business application technology in a server operating system", says Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of Iconics.
"Iconics automation software solutions extend the value of these improvements to provide customers with enhanced visualisation, captivating graphics within intuitive machine interfaces and a true 360-degree view of their enterprise".
Genesis64 allows users across the enterprise to integrate real-time manufacturing and business information into a common, OPC-UA-compliant, web-enabled visualisation dashboard.
GraphWorX64 is a fully compliant OPC client featuring ActiveX and OLE Automation technologies to help create dazzling animated graphics for process control.
Windows Server 2008 software certification comprises approximately 100 test cases that independently confirm an application's compliance with best practices for compatibility, security, reliability, and availability on the new platform.
The certification identifies top-performing technologies that are ready to deploy in mission-critical environments.
As a participant in the Microsoft Early Access Programme (EAP) for Windows Server 2008 Software Certification, Iconics' GraphWorX64 is one of more than 300 applications that are eligible for certification on a prerelease version of the new platform.
"Engineering is typically 60% of the cost of automation projects", says Simone Massaro, Lead Program Manager at Iconics.
"Genesis64 takes advantage of advances in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, as well as of new 64bit technology, to reduce costs, speed up development time and ensure state-of-the-art graphical visualisation".
Iconics solutions are widely recognised in the industrial automation software marketplace.
Used in a wide variety of applications worldwide, Iconics' Genesis64, Genesis32 and BizViz products are recognised for their graphical capabilities and seamless integration with Microsoft operating systems and applications, bridging information from "the shop floor to the top floor".
