The substation’s first virtual everything
OrionVX revolutionizes substation automation as the industry’s first truly virtual RTU solution. Powered by NovaTech’s proven OrionOS™ platform, OrionVX delivers identical functionality and reliability to hardware RTUs while unleashing unprecedented flexibility through virtualization. Deployed anywhere—from substations to enterprise data centers—OrionVX transforms how utilities manage critical grid infrastructure.
Virtually Everything
In the substation, OrionVX functions as an RTU, data concentrator, SCADA gateway, and HMI server. At the enterprise, OrionVX is a Front End Processor for the collection and normalization of data from substations, pole tops, vaults, and IOT devices to SCADA, DERMS, ADMS and asset management systems.
Zero Learning Curve
Identical configuration tools, interfaces, and protocols as hardware Orion RTUs ensure instant familiarity and seamless integration with existing workflows.
High Reliability
Combine proven Orion redundancy architectures with enterprise virtualization features like High Availability and Live Migration for unmatched uptime.
Enterprise Scale
Deploy with the necessary features in the substation or enterprise—choose from scalable license options for device count, point count, and protocols.
Virtualization Basics & Deployment
Virtualization is a technology that allows you to create multiple simulated environments from a single, physical machine. It allows you to create multiple software-based independent devices—like RTUs, gateways, protection relays, and cybersecurity applications —on a single physical server. Each device operates as a “virtual machine”, fully isolated, and functions just as if it were on dedicated hardware.
Integration & Data Normalization
Yes. OrionVX can be used as a front-end processor, allowing legacy SCADA systems to interface with thousands of field devices through a small number of virtual RTUs. This minimizes changes to the SCADA master while drastically increasing system capability.
Security & Reliability
OrionVX supports industry-standard security practices, including TLS encryption, and protocol-level security. Each virtual RTU can be configured with its own firewall rules and security settings, ensuring strong isolation and protection. In addition, virtualization allows you to employ more IT-based cybersecurity tools and methods with centralized management tools.
Scalability & Licensing
Each OrionVX instance can map 80,0000 points.. With multiple instances deployed across a server or cluster, the system scales easily to support tens of thousands of devices.
Protocols, Tools & Testing
Yes. OrionVX provides import/export capabilities to streamline integration and maintain data consistency between the RTU and SCADA systems.
