Everyone understands the benefits of monitoring and controlling traditional plant assets (valves, tanks, etc.). However, IT assets such as computers, software, routers and switches also play an important part in a plant's day-to-day operations. These infrastructure assets support the critical delivery, display and control of plant process information. When IT assets fail, the consequences can be just as critical as when the equipment controlling the process fails. For example, an operator cannot respond to an alarm condition if the router carrying the message has failed. To further compound the problem, when an IT asset is still operating, but outside the bounds of normal operations, operators may misdiagnose this as a failure in the underlying equipment, rather than in the components that deliver or process the equipment's data. If a router is failing intermittently due to occasional network traffic spikes, it may appear as though the underlying equipment is to blame, when this is not the case. If a software application pins the CPU, other programs running on the computer may lose data, or report incorrect values, and appear to be at fault when they are not. These types of problems have traditionally been very difficult to isolate and resolve, as plant engineers unknowingly struggle with IT issues.
