During the operational phase of the system, client response will be
better when the application is not run on the Server itself.
For ProcessLogix Systems, if the processor on the server is being
overwhelmed, you may want to change the configuration and move
the ERDB to its own dedicated node. Depending on System Usage,
this can have a dramatic impact on your system performance.
Service Integration Adding Services, such as Active Directory, to the ProcessLogix Server
will have an impact on the Servers CPU and memory usage. This
should be taken into consideration when planning the hardware
purchase for your Server. Navigate in Knowledge Builder to Network
Planning Guide for more information.
Network Integration Integrating the Plant Networks with the Companies Business Network
can also impact the performance of the System. If Active Directories
are going to be integrated, you must plan to be able to support the
whole Business Network Infrastructure. Depending on the size of the
company, this can have a large impact on the Servers CPU and
memory usage. If considering this type of integration, you should plan
this into your hardware purchase for your Server. Navigate in
Knowledge Builder to Network Planning Guide for more information.
