The ADX provides more advanced historical data management. The ADX supports up to 10, 25, 50, or 100 concurrent users connected through a combination of the Metasys UI (maximum 50 users) and the Site Management Portal UI. The ADX offers manual, automatic, and scheduled archiving of historical data and offers extended reporting capabilities using SQL Server software or third-party software. For more information about supported concurrent users, see ADS/ADX concurrent users.
The ADX supports the following Microsoft operating systems for installations:
- Windows® Server® 2022 (64-bit)
- Windows® Server® 2019 (version 1809 or later) (64-bit)
The ADX supports the following SQL Server software:
- SQL Server® 2022 with CU9 (64-bit)
- SQL Server® 2019 with CU18 (64-bit)
- SQL Server® 2017 with CU31 (64-bit)
You can install the ADX in a split configuration. Splitting provides enhanced security for historical data. The ADX software and user interface are installed on one computer (the web/application server computer), and the historical trend, audit, and event data on another computer (the database server computer) running Microsoft SQL Server software.
