Schneider Electric introduces Wonderware Online InStudio, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering that reportedly changes the way software engineers, systems integrators and end users can provision, develop, test and maintain their HMI and SCADA applications. Wonderware Online InStudio is part of the Wonderware Online Insight cloud platform, built on Microsoft Azure, a collection of industrial data aggregation, storage and visualization functionalities.
Wonderware Online InStudio is a secure, cloud subscription service that lets systems integrators overlay a next-generation infrastructure that is highly available and scalable, according to the company. The offering reportedly supports improved collaboration during the development process across geographies and roles.
