I've been wanting to ask this question for months, but the latest thread
regarding the new architecture makes it all the more relative. But first, is
Invensys abandoning I/A on Solaris? If all we're seeing is a refinement or
rethinking of Invensys' small/medium range product line, then I can continue
to recommend I/A for our new systems, provided that Solaris will still be
available in the future.
On the other hand, if I/A as we know it is going to be phase out, then
please, someone tell me why I shouldn't ask Emerson, Yokogawa or Honeywell
for a quote? I'm thinking that if I buy I/A, then eventually, I'll be pushed
into an advantage upgrade to their Wintel based system. If I go with
something like DeltaV, at least, I will be able to make the choice of a
Windoze based system that has logged a few hours running process facilities
as opposed to helping Invensys with development. Either way, unless someone
can convince me otherwise, I think I'll hold off making any more purchases
until the boys and girls in Foxboro can figure out what they're going to do.

We've had I/A running since 1990 , the UNIX based system works quite well ,
I have absolutely no confidence on anything running on Microsoft. As for
Foxboro having problems with new software releases , yes they could do a
better job , when we first got our system there were no problems , seems
that the problems started when Foxboro started working with microsoft NT .
