At its core, a virtual client is a that allows users to access industrial applications—such as HMI (Human Machine Interface), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), or engineering systems—running on a centralized server.
Contact your local Siemens Digital Industries distributor for a proof-of-concept (PoC). Most discover that setting up a small VMware cluster with two SVC endpoints and TIA Portal takes less than a week and immediately reveals the operational benefits. siemens virtual client
To start your journey, contact your Siemens Digital Industries distributor for a 30-day trial of the SVC software stack on your existing hardware. At its core, a virtual client is a
Through open interfaces and the SIMIT Unit framework, the Virtual Client can simulate a process controlled by non-Siemens hardware. This capability transforms the Virtual Client from a proprietary tool into a universal engineering platform, allowing systems integrators to standardize their simulation workflows regardless of the hardware vendor specified by the end client.

In the age of ransomware and state-sponsored cyberattacks, protecting the production network is paramount. With SVC, no sensitive engineering data resides on the endpoint. If a thin client is stolen or compromised, there is zero data leakage. Furthermore, USB ports can be centrally managed, preventing unauthorized code or malware uploads to PLCs.
Implementing virtual clients with Siemens offers a holistic solution for industrial IT:
High-density production environments where a single PC failure can stop an entire multi-million dollar line.
