OK, I think I'm getting there. So, under InFusion, what will be the best way to provide a large number of remote HMIs for management/supervisors/remote operators? We normally serve around 50 simultaneous remote DMs now, and have had to split that between 4 workstations because of the 16 DM/FV limit per workstation. I'd prefer to have all the remote displays (at least for management) served from a single server (easier to administer and lower loading). Is there a way to do something like that with InFusion? Does the web based server have lower load per instance? Most of our users are OK with PI/Processbook for visualization, but I'm left with the 50 or so where I require actual plant HMI.
