Hardware Requirements
We can devide the hardware requirement into two groups:
- Server hardware
- Client hardware
Server hardware
The required server hardware depends on:
- Amount of variables
- Number of connections
- Number of alarms and events
- Complexity of alarms and events
- Amount of schedules
- Amount of scripts
- Complexity of the scripts
- Amount of clients being served
- Etc…
To give a representation, we’re going to give 3 examples. One for a small application, one for a medium application, and one for a big application. You will need to test your application on the appropriate hardware to enough time to decide on what hardware you need.
| Hardware | Small | Medium | Big |
| CPU | 2-4 Core 1.8Ghz | 4-8 Core 2.5Ghz | 8-16 Core 3.5Ghz |
| RAM | 4-8GB DDR3 | 8-16GB Ram DDR4 | 16-32GB RAM DDR4 |
| Install drive | 32GB+ | 32GB+ | 32GB+ |
| Historian drive | 120-500GB SSD | 500GB-1TB SSD | 1TB – 5TB SSD |
| Operating System | Windows 10 64Bit Windows 11 64Bit Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 64Bit + |
Windows 10 64Bit Windows 11 64Bit Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 64Bit + |
Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 64Bit + |
We only recommend SSD’s. We don’t recommend spinning disks of any kind.
Client Hardware
Our clients are web clients that can run on ‘thin’ client computers. That means that the client can run on minimum hardware.
The required client hardware depends on:
- How many variables on 1 page
- The complexity of the expressions
- How many open pages at the same time (multi-monitor for example)
Tablets, mobile phones, mini pc’s or NUC’s, thin client PC’s, should all be fine… If pages are really big, with 2000+ objects per page, we recommend a small computer like an Intel i3 or intel i5 with 8GB RAM.
