The hard drive sizes shown in the diagrams are what the virtual machines in the test lab used; the sizes needed may vary, especially for the Data Archive servers and shared, external storage devices used for proxy drives.
-
Assume that versions the same as or newer than provide the same level of performance. When a new version of a PI product is released that 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.
