Proficy Historian for Azure Cloud
Proficy Historian for Azure Cloud is deployed in an Azure Virtual Machine instance in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) inside an Azure Virtual Network (VNet). During deployment choose an instance type based on your requirement. Our benchmarking results suggest that Standard_F8s_v2 supports up to 3 million samples per minute. You can choose an instance of lower or higher capacity based on the rate of collection.
Collectors
You can install collectors on an on-premises Windows machine. Or, you can install them on a Virtual Machine in Azure.
