A bit of a background of our setup.. we are running redunant servers with Citect as our scada system and ThinManager for managing remote sessions of Citect to multiple thin-clients (all within our local network). ThinManager will switch sessions to the redundant server if the primary goes down and vice-versa.
For another plant, we are looking to have a similar setup, except with Ignition as the scada instead of Citect, which I've never worked with before.
The current setup works very well for us, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to achieve this setup when using Ignition.
I spoke with an Ignition tech and he said it can be run on a Windows 10 PC, and doesn't require an actual server machine like Citect, but is that recommended? I don't want to waste money on a server if we don't have to, but definitely don't want to cheap-out either. With the PC option, I don't think ThinManager will work, so is there an easier way out there to manage local clients, such as using VNC or TeamViewer?
