Database Size Guidelines

FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix writes 16 bytes of data to the database for each meter tag logged. Over time, the
database can grow to become quite large. Some examples include the following:
A low-end server, logging 40 meter tags at 15 minute intervals, will grow the database at a rate of 2.56 KB per
hour or 22 MB per year.
A mid-level server, logging 320 meter tags at 15 minute intervals, will grow the database at a rate of 20.5 KB per
hour, or 180 MB per year.
A high-end server, logging 1000 meter tags at 15 minute intervals, will grow the database at a rate of 240 KB
per hour, or 2.1 GB per year.
Consider these guidelines when determining hard disk requirements for a server as well as database maintenance
schedules.

SERVER REQUIREMENTS
We recommend, but do not require, that you install FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software on a dedicated server with
a local installation of Microsoft SQL Server. Your browser should be set to check for newer versions of stored
pages automatically, not every visit to the page.

Classic version 2.60 (CPR9 SR6) or later must be installed. Windows 2000 Server is not supported.

These are the hardware requirements that you need to use FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software.
Definitions: The following rules of thumb are offered as a starting point for determining server sizing for
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix. Other factors will affect the required size of a server. A higher number of tags being
logged, a faster log rate, a larger number of users and a larger number of reports being run will require a more
powerful server than the guidelines specify.
A low-end server has up to 8 meters and logs up to 40 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
A mid-range server has up to 64 meters and logs up to 320 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
A high-end server has more than 64 meters and logs more than 500 meter tags at a minimum 15 minute log rate
