Upgrading from an:
i3-4130 @ 3.4GHz running windows server 2008 R2
2tb HDD
64 GB ram
only runs
Ignition 8.06 – Will be updated to 8.1
~ 20 - 60% CPU
8gb ram committed
Perspective only clients. 20-50 active sessions.
75 OPC devices.
My biggest problem is the page load time for screens with lots of embedded views. I hope 8.1 solves a lot of this.
MySQL 8.0.17
5% CPU
8gb ram committed
120 Selects a sec
25 DB writes a sec
KepWare GE Suite <0.2% CPU
IIS
Print Server with 6 different printers
I am considering the new machine running Linux. I am nervous as I have never used Linux outside of raspbian. It will only run Ignition and the DB will stay on this old computer and Kep. A lot of people around here suggest running the DB on a different machine. Which I’ve never understood. lol
Idk if I can get Linux to work with my printers. That is something I’ve certainly never done before.
