Understanding High Availability (HA)
Discover how PI Server High Availability (HA) enhances system reliability by providing redundant sources for time-series data. Learn about PI Server Replication, which synchronizes multiple servers to enable alternate data sources and allow interfaces to buffer data to multiple servers simultaneously.
Key Concepts and Features
Explore the core concepts of PI Server HA, including PI Server Collectives, PI SDK Automatic Client Failover, and N-Way Buffering. Understand how these features work together to maintain data access and system resilience even during planned maintenance or unexpected outages.
Replication Procedures and Best Practices
This guide details the procedures for configuring and managing PI Server replication. It covers essential steps such as collective formation, interface configuration, and data synchronization, along with best practices for maintaining a robust and available system.
Motivating Factors for HA and Replication
Understand the reasons why high availability and replication are critical for modern industrial operations. Learn about common scenarios that can lead to PI Server unavailability, including operating system updates, software failures, hardware issues, network disruptions, and human error.
