The ADS is a scalable platform that serves multiple users and provides database software options for archiving historical data using the Microsoft SQL Server® Express software database.
The extended version of the ADS, the ADX serves a larger number of users and provides higher capacity historical data storage using the SQL Server software database. The ADX may also be configured in a split configuration, where the web/application components of the ADX reside on a dedicated web/application server and the historical databases of the ADX reside on a dedicated database server. See the following table for ADX split configuration guidelines.
