Topology 1: Overview & diagram

Keep the following points in mind when building this solution:

1. The hard drive sizes shown in the diagram are what the virtual machines in the test lab used. The hard drive sizes that your system will need may vary, especially for Data Archive servers and shared, external storage devices used for proxy drives.

2. Assume that versions the same as or newer than those used in testing provide the same level of performance. If a given PI product version changes performance, topology information will be updated.

   Note: Only small amounts of PI to CONNECT transfer data are acceptable when the PI to CONNECT Agent is loaded on the Data Archive node.

The following diagram shows the achievable performance envelope for Topology 1 when built using the prescribed servers, hardware resources, software, and data flows.
