Installation on a Network

AIM is designed to be distributed over several computers on a network, the reasons for this include:

• Performance

• Scalability

• Security

  Note: You can install an instance of AIM on a single standalone computer for demonstration and training purposes. However, AVEVA does not recommend to do so.

AIM works with any virtualization software that is supported by Microsoft, refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957006.

Users can log on to the AIM Dashboard, computers on the network must be part of a domain managed by a Windows Domain Controller; this is usually a separate computer set up specifically for this task.
