Getting Started

The information in this manual provides guidance to help you deploy a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) (MES) solution.

The guide includes:

• Typical server topologies for different scenarios

• The roles of different servers and what should be running on each

• Sizing recommendations

• Server configuration best practices

• Scalability and redundancy considerations

One of the main differences between this document and the MES Installation Guide is that this document provides guidelines on how to architect your system while the MES Installation Guide describes how to install it.

For a complete listing of the MES documentation library, see the Readme file that is provided with the current version of the software or go to the MES page of the AVEVA Wonderware Knowledge and Support Center.
