Definitions
The following rules of thumb are offered as a starting point for determining server sizing for FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix.
Other factors will affect the required size of a server. A higher number of tags being logged, a faster log rate, a larger number
of users and a larger number of reports being run will require a more powerful server than the guidelines specify.
• A low-end server has up to 8 meters and logs up to 40 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
• A mid-range server has up to 64 meters and logs up to 320 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
• A high-end server has more than 64 meters and logs more than 500 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
