Ignition Server Sizing and Architecture Guide

This guide is intended to provide some tips to help you determine the correct architecture depending on your requirements. It is important to note that any architecture that you come up with needs to be fully tested and verified. Throughout that process you can observe the performance characteristics of the server in order to make any necessary adjustments to the architecture. There is no guarantee on performance since it is based on your design choices.

15. Discussing Architectures

Lauren and Shay invite Co-Director of Sales Engineering Travis Cox to walk us through architecting an Ignition system, and to show how Ignition can be used anywhere from a local HMI client to a full enterprise solution and everything in between. Travis shares best practices for getting started, building a foundation, asking the right questions, and building out an architecture. Travis begins with the structure of a basic Ignition architecture and explains the process of when and how to build out from there. We cover adding new functionality, adding redundancy, store and forward, Ignition Edge, MQTT, scale-out, adding a load balancer, streaming data to the cloud, and having visibility across an enterprise.
