Hardware Requirements

Proficy Historian for AWS

Proficy Historian for AWS is deployed in an Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance in Elastic Kubernetes Cluster (EKS) inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). During deployment choose an instance type based on your requirement. Our benchmarking results suggest that C5.xLarge supports up to 15 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 machine in the same VPC where the Historian server is deployed, or you can choose to deploy in a different VPC.

The following table provides the hardware requirements for installing collectors on an on-premises Windows machine.
Hardware Component Recommendation
RAM 8 GB
Disk size 80 GB

The Web Admin Console and the REST Query Service

We recommend that you use an EC2 instance of at least t3.medium to deploy the Web Admin console and the REST Query service Amazon Machine Image (AMI).
