CODESYS^® Automation Server
Product variants

Where does the CODESYS Automation Server run?

With the CODESYS Automation Server, you can optimize the management of your automation projects thanks to extensive control, monitoring and maintenance options. The underlying system must meet a wide range of requirements, which can vary greatly depending on the industry, field of application, customer base, legal requirements and other factors.

You can therefore choose from two operating variants to meet your individual requirements: Software-as-a-Service solution (SaaS) in the AWS cloud or, in the near future, as an on-premises installation on your own infrastructure. Each variant offers very specific advantages and is tailored to different operational requirements.

SaaS in the cloud

The SaaS version of the CODESYS Automation Server is hosted by CODESYS in the AWS cloud in the Frankfurt region. It is a robust and scalable solution and offers you the necessary infrastructure without you having to set it up and maintain it yourself.

Advantages of this variant:

Easy access and simple deployment

You and your customers can access the CODESYS Automation Server from anywhere via the Internet using a browser. This ensures seamless management and control of your automation projects at multiple locations.

Flexible scalability

Cloud hosting enables automatic scaling of resources according to your requirements. This allows you to achieve optimum performance without having to intervene yourself.

Low IT costs

By outsourcing infrastructure management to CODESYS, you can concentrate on your core tasks while CODESYS takes care of updates, backups and security measures for you.

High cost efficiency

In the SaaS model, you only pay for what you actually use. This already includes costs for cloud infrastructure, maintenance and updates. This eliminates the need for you to make large upfront investments in hardware and software.

Safety at the highest level

AWS is the cloud provider with the most operational experience. IT and cybersecurity are part of its core business. Thanks to a variety of security measures such as state-of-the-art encryption, real-time threat detection, vulnerability and patch management and compliance with standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR and C5, the AWS infrastructure is designed to be one of the most secure cloud environments on the market. Together with our expertise in the operation and development of the CODESYS Automation Server, your data is therefore protected in the best possible way.

On-premises on your infrastructure

Are you subject to regulatory restrictions, do you have special security requirements or would you like to have your infrastructure and data under your own control? Then the on-premises version of the CODESYS Automation Server is the ideal solution for you.

Advantages of this variant:

Full control over your data

By hosting the Automation Server on your own infrastructure, you retain full control over your data. This is particularly important for sensitive know-how and in industries with strict data protection regulations. You decide what happens to your data.

Customizability

The on-premises version offers greater flexibility for customization and enables integration into existing IT infrastructures to meet your operational needs and IT requirements. This means that the CODESYS Automation Server fits seamlessly into your existing hardware and software landscape.

Security in your hands

Implement your specific security requirements exactly as you wish. Starting with the hardware and software you use, through network administration to backups on redundant systems and even physical access to the system. You decide what happens, how and when.

Offline operation

The on-premises version of the CODESYS Automation Server can also be operated in environments where a continuous Internet connection is not guaranteed. This means you are independent and can also manage and monitor your machines and systems in completely isolated networks if required.

Conclusion

The CODESYS Automation Server offers you flexible deployment options that meet different requirements in industrial automation. Whether you choose the convenience and scalability of the cloud-based SaaS model or the control and customizability of the on-premises solution, you benefit from a powerful tool designed to improve your automation processes.
