Claims15
A data processing system to process multiple maritime software applications on a ship, the data processing system comprising:
- a main hardware-server containing the multiple maritime software applications operable from at least one client-workstation with a user interface;
- and
- a subordinate hardware-server containing the multiple maritime software applications, the subordinate hardware-server being configured to copy data processed by the multiple maritime software applications on the main hardware-server based on outputs from multiple maritime sensors from the main hardware-server to the subordinate hardware-server.
A method of operating multiple maritime software applications on a ship, the method comprising:
- operating the multiple maritime software applications contained in a main hardware-server from at least one client-workstation with a user interface, and
- copying data processed by the multiple maritime software applications based on outputs from multiple maritime sensors from the main hardware-server to a subordinate hardware-server which contains the multiple maritime software applications.
