Powerlink Virtualisation

We are happy to report that a number of our customers are now running Powerlink Telemetry Server in a range of virtualised environments including Oracle Virtualbox and VMware ESX. There are no known limitations to running PL in a virtualised environment and no changes need to be made to support it, so all existing builds should work just fine.  You will need to arrange remote com ports if you want to use a System Controller or GSM modem in your virtualised environment.  One customer has achieved this using moxa nport units, and we have had success with usb serial adapters in conjunction with usb passthrough mode.
