An IT manager in a municipality office has created a live data link between a Lookout OPC server in Windows and a custom Linux application. He has an OPC DataHub connected to his OPC server, mirroring data to a Cascade DataHub running in Linux. On the Linux side, he feeds the data into an Oracle database, and from there into his custom application. The data updates are so seamless that his Linux application thinks it is directly connected to the Lookout OPC server.
