A5E02422946-07
 1 Hardware Prerequisites
The hardware requirements for SIMATIC IT 6.6 specified in this document are based on the
Intel Xeon processor family. However, processors that are equivalent or superior, from
different vendors, can be used.
A detailed capacity planning for any specific implementation should define the size and the
number of servers needed, taking into consideration:
• the customer industry
• the number of components
• the specific requirements and the complexity of the customization
The proposed scenarios are categorized as small, medium and large. These categories and
the associated values listed in the following sections are intended to provide some guideline
for an initial plan for the hardware configuration.

Minimum vs. Recommended Requirements

The following sections list both minimum and recommended hardware requirements for
physical computers.
Note that:
• Minimum requirements are intended only for engineering scenarios and functional tests.
• Recommended requirements are intended for production scenarios and performance
tests.

Contacts for Additional Information

For additional information on mission-critical configurations, configurations not described in

this document, and accurate capacity planning and size determination, contact the Bidding
Consulting Department ([email protected]).

Note The services offered by the Bidding Consulting Department are only available to
SIMATIC IT Partners.

1.1 Standalone Scenario

The standalone scenario applies to a single machine hosting the entire set of SIMATIC IT
components.
The database server can be hosted on a separate machine.

1.2 Distributed Scenario

Distributed scenarios are based on three tiers, with at least one dedicated server per each
tier, concerning the following services:
• Applications
• Data
• Web
In the Applications tier, there is at least one server where the SIMATIC IT Components are
installed. This server executes the production logic of the SIMATIC IT application.
Production Modeler operates as the main engine, coordinating all the other components.
The logic is developed as a set of PM rules, and interaction between PM and components
is provided by GSI interface.
The Data tier consists of a dedicated SQL Server database. The server handles all
operations involving SIMATIC IT data, both production and historical, such as storing data
and performing queries and other operations (e.g. updating, deleting) upon the request of
SIMATIC IT servers or clients.

1.2 Distributed Scenario

1.2.6 SQL Server Hardware Requirements for Historian Scenarios

Introduction

Historian projects may require specific hardware for the computer where SQL Server is
installed, due to the high amount of data transferred and stored in Historian databases.

Standard Hardware Configuration (4000 tags/second)

The following hardware configuration is recommended for a SQL Server computer used for
a Historian project processing up to 4000 tags per second:
• CPU: 1 processor (6 cores)
• RAM: 16GB
• Hard Disks:
– 2x 146GB, RAID 1 (operating system)
– 4x 300GB, RAID 5 + HS (data)
– Speed: 10,000 - 15,000 rpm

Large Historian Scenarios

For Historian projects processing more than 4,000 tags per second, high throughput must
be guaranteed by the hardware used in the SQL Server computer, depending on the
number of tags processed per second.
More specifically:

Number of tags processed per second Recommended I/O operations per second

4,000 – 10,000 tags/s 9,000 IOPS

Over 10,000 tags/s 44,000 IOPS

The more tags are processed per second, the faster an Historian database grows in size.
For example, when processing 1000 tags per second, the database size increases by about
290MB per hour.
Additionally, other factors must be taken into account to determine hardware requirements
for such large Historian projects, such as:
• The time span covered by each online database
• The duration of the period in which data must be kept online
These factors determine the maximum size of each database and the number of attached
database (online Historian databases are always attached).
SQL Server performance is affected when very large databases are used and when a lot of
databases are attached. For more information, see the relevant Microsoft documentation.

2.4 VMWare Support

2.4 VMWare Support

VMWare ESX is supported as of release 6.5 of SIMATIC IT. Please remember that MES is a
mission-critical application and factors like performances, repeatability of time response,
interaction with control layer and others must be considered. Because of this, the hardware
architecture chosen for MES should be adequate and reserved to MES.
Concurrent execution on the same hardware of other tasks, even if isolated by a
virtualization system, could affect MES in an unpredictable way. Virtual Machine sizing
described in this document requires CPU reservation on VMWare (generally speaking 1
vCPU is approximately 1 Core).
SIMATIC Logon, OPEN PCS7, TIA, cluster scenarios and any configuration not described
in this document are subject to approval by the Bidding Consulting Department
([email protected]).

Note The services offered by the Bidding Consulting Department are only available to
SIMATIC IT Partners.

Supported VMWare Software

• VMWare ESXi 5.x

• VMWare vCenter Server 5.x

2.5 Remote Desktop Services Support

The usage of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services with SIMATIC IT is supported only for
Historian Data Display (HDD), and only if the following prerequisites are satisfied.

Note In operating systems prior to Windows Server 2008 R2, Remote Desktop Services is
called Terminal Services.
